FYI for those asking why we don't see more detail of recovery efforts

One of the ministers on the scene was interviewed on the 700 Club last week. He said they were "ankle to knee deep in body parts". It must have been awful beyond imagination.

Am I detecting an excess 'blockquote' here? Now lets see.

Coverage of the WTC rescue, recovery and removal site has been fine by me. I know that the workers are handling the situation as well as possible from every report that I hear. What a horrible but necessary job.

I disagree. It is what it is. We have a free press, it is for them, not FEMA to decide what they wish to print. National Security is a reason to censor stories. Blood is not. I agree with Michael Savage that this is being done in part to prevent Americans from rising up in righteous indignation and demanding retribution now. The "crime scene" angle is BS. They could put in a "pool" photographer from AP and he would shoot acording to professional photo journalist standards, not FEMA ones. Once again the Constitution takes the short end.

I knew a girl who used to edit and catalog footage for CNN. She would have to go through all the footage of bombings, etc. She said it was awful. She requested a move to the comedy channel so she wouldn't have to look at it any more.

Likely government censorship of "official" pictures of the crash site is all the more reason to have pictures like this available. Someone with a web site should save these if Uncle Sam decides to pull the plug on these.

Ground Zero Photos

(BTW -- pics are from an earlier thread and show only destruction, no bodies or anything gruesome. They do, however, take a while to load. Freeper thread: PICS from Ground Zero )

The other day, I spoke with a local volunteer fireman who assisted with the cleanup.

He claimed the smell of rotting corpses did not come out after taking a shower. He spoke like a robot.
