I got an hour suspension, and as a paying contributor to this site, I find that disappointing.

I think we need to be careful about censorship here.

Censorship is difficult to define when there are differenes in opinion regarding the motives for imagery and rhetoric.

CENTCOM briefing is actually discussing the propaganda value of the Al Jazeera video.

It is interesting that the war and information technology is at a nexus where individual citizens can control the priorities of coverage.

FR appears to be the most principled web discussion server on the net.

Argument over definition of content is valid to have.

But, it would appear that you are in the distinct minority opinion on this matter.

While dissemination of information is important, the strategic impact of the info must be considered.

The origination of the photos being disseminated by Reuters is Iraqi TV and AJ. Reuters was the same organization that made a decision to no longer use the term "terrorist". It isn't coincidence.

*SIGH*

Another use of the word censorship. This is Jim's website to do with as he pleases. Paying supporter or not, Jim reserves the right to do what he wants.

I'm deeply saddened that you're disappointed. Most of the rest of us agree these are good guidelines that show the proper respect for those in harm's way and their loved ones who do not deserve the indignity of having pictures of their dead bodies plastered from here to eternity.
