The enemy films these atrocities specifically to gloat and ridicule the US. You mentioned Daniel Pearl and this recent video. It is being used worldwide to generate hatred of the USA, and we should see what their propoganda looks like.
This is two wars: one to crush Saddam and one to convince the world that the US is a benevolent power. Don't just assume that keeping the reality from our own citizens is beneficial, we are dealing with a large anti-war movement here. This is an inevitable part of showing the war up close. I submit that if the soldier cannot be identified, we should not be protected from these images. I don't need our media patronizing me. The pix on Drudge is fine, you cannot see any faces, and if the image sickens you, turn off TV 'cuz war is ugly and getting uglier.
Graphic images of the dead have been published since the Civil War. America can (must) handle reality.

The large anti-war movement in the US is gloating over those pictures. Make no mistake about that. Much as there were many americans who gladly went on C-SPAN to say that we deserved what happened on 9/11......these pictures will be giving aid and comfort to those despicable low life *(^$%@
