Do you have a watershed in the US (i.e. a time after which children are not presumed to be watching?) In the UK it is 21.00, and if your children are up after that time (or if you record programmes for them to watch) you are deemed responsible if they are disturbed by what they see.

I don't think I'd want young children to see detailed footage of 9/11 - the swearing would be the least of my worries. Show it unedited (at least as far as swearing is concerned) after children have gone to bed and let parents make their own minds up.

I know I have grown up in "the Nanny state" but I do think giving parents control over what their children watch is important.

If you don't have a watershed then show it uncut anyway - parents should know well enough to monitor their children's viewing if anything can be shown at any time.
