Journalism is the only profession explicitly protected by the U.S. Constitution, because journalists are supposed to be the check and balance on government. For the People. They are supposed to be holding those in power accountable, not be their megaphone. That's what the corporate media have become.

I feel for that family, but we are supposed to set aside critical thinking due to one family, or 5,000.

This is a cold opinion, but I feel the price of freedom is two buildings and 3,000 lives.

The flip side, which is happening, we are led into a false war into the part of the world that has been at war as long as their have been people, wrecked our economy, one could argue the downward spiral started due to 9/11, and the whittling away of our constitutional rights, making torture US policy, etc etc etc.

Your opinions are valid, I refuse to debate it anymore. To do that would to act exactly as the people running things need us to act to hold on to power. They need us fighting each other, because if we ever found middle ground we would rid ourselves of them all. As it was designed to be.

I agree with the following:

"Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

You are correct that society needs to be shown the results of war, but we are not talking about whether or not the entire war needs to be censored. In this instance, the AP had full knowledge of a grief-stricken family's wish that they're son's dying moments not be displayed to the world, and that wish should have been granted. Instead, it was blatantly ignored and that is simply disgraceful.
