I love the guy who stated that they should not show pictures and that it did not matter anyway, because Americans already knew the number lost and the pictures would not be giving them any more information. This is obvious false, since almost anyone knows that an image can convey information much more powerfully than numbers.
Anyone who has seen pictures from 9/11 knows that if those images were never shown and the incident was reduced to numbers, it would not convey the anguish of the situation. How anyone who represents people who splash these images into their campaign ads can sit there and make that statement is ludicrous.
BTW, I really am trying to be non-partisan about this. If I ever caught a spokesman for my point of view in this kind of bald-faced lie, I'm pretty sure I'd call him on it.
