"Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor, said the news cooperative has long withheld images it deemed offensive, such as photos and video of beheadings. "We have a very longstanding policy of not distributing material that is found to be offensive," she said, adding that the Inquirer was the only newspaper she knew of that had specifically requested the images from AP. "These images have not met that standard."

But Carroll also agreed with some other editors who said the cartoons did not add to the news coverage in a major way. "If people want to find them, they are easily found," she said.

Oh, reaaaallllyyyy.....I can think of MANY things that "did not add to the news coverage in a major way" which the AP has reported and provided in the past.....rather selective, I'd say.

This is the same mentality behind the notion that we cannot show any images of 9/11 because they are "too disturbing."
