Y'know, I think Drudge not only has the right to show it but SHOULD show it.

People need to get ANGRY. We are SOOOO politically correct that expressing legitimate anger is considered hate. BS! We should be showing people jumping off the WTC towers, choosing to die by falling instead of burning. We should be showing the dead Kurds who were gassed by Saddam.

There is this incredible belief on the part of the government and the press that we're so fragile and so wishy-washy that if we see disturbing footage we'll start crying for the boys and girls to come home. I don't believe that for a minute. And if I'm wrong, maybe we don't deserve our position as superpower.

Drudge is doing a service, as is Michael Savage on his new TV program.

It is not about US and our fragility or lack thereof; it is about respect for our troops.

He can do his service in disseminating the news, but I do think that it should be respectful and tasteful. Plastering the faces of the war dead before the family is notified is dispicable.

With all due respect for the families........

Couldn't agree more about the need for more people to get even angrier.........the only way to remember is to see what we are up against. My contention about 9/11 and not showing the jumpers is that people should be forced to remember how horrible it was.

The media will be "against" showing controversial images, but then will take advantage of any opportunity to show one of them for ratings reasons. Furthermore, they never miss an opportunity to CHOOSE FOR US what to show us. Why can't WE decide for ourselves?

These images should be shown. We must never forget.
