My guess is this is one of those jollies things. I can't imagine why anyone would want a picture of a splattered body except to offend someone and gloat over the reaction. A cyber flasher. The same people who think Annie Sprinkle and a cucumber is art.

He should try alt.binaries.tasteless.

Having heard Richard Gere's comments at the concert for New York, I'd say that there are some people who need to be offended by the sight of splattered bodies. The exploding and falling skyscrapers just weren't enough; he still doesn't get it.

Photographs of trash cans full of limbs amputated as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor
were kept out of the press. It probably was a good idea as such a sight might have
let to mass lyncing of innocent Japanese-Americans.

And prohibitions on some of the worst photos of WTC/Pentagon is wise for a period
of time as well.
BUT...the moral equivalency and radical pacifism crowd needs may need to see these things
(on a limited basis) when they start to scream "no more war" when the USA loses
oh, say, 10 or 20 soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan.

Then they (and the rest of the country) should be reminded what carnage was visited
on over five thousand innocents...and that sacrifices have to be made to prevent it
from happening again.

I'm not for gore. I'm for making sure people just don't forget the reality of what happened.
And that anyone trying to warp the truth is hit in the face with the real image.

Pappy. Think about it for a minute.
I haven't had the slightest desire to see that type of photo, but still am infuriated that government and/or the media have relieved me of ever having to make that choice.
They have made it for me.

I agree that their motivation is the worst possible.
To keep the level of American outrage as low as possible.
For what specific purpose I haven't guessed.

However, they feel free to let me see similar photos of Dead Afghan "babies"...

Incensed does not begin to describe it!
