1. Yes, and we have a right to know!

n/t

[samdogmom]

2. Absolutely!

This is a ploy by the administration to cover up their gross incompetence. These images should be seared into the brains of all Americans and they must come back to haunt us every time we enter a voting booth!

3. Absolutely

Stop trying to hide the bodies!

[Verve]

4. Umm...freedom of the press, free speech, free country, etc. etc....

Hell yes! They have the right and a duty to report news that Americans want and should know.

5. Absolutely

[OhioChick]

6. Yes

Truthful reporting is supposed to be their job.

[Fovea]

7. We have not just a right

but a need to know.
You should not, ideally show recognizable corpses, but an accurate accounting, and an eventually roll of the victims is the minimum a free press should do for its readership.

8. YES. n/t

[Solly Mack]

9. Yes! duty.obligated.

[txaslftist]

10. yes.

[valerief]

11. Yes

[PublicWrath]

15. Yep....

...A young girl runs from her village screaming from the pain of burning napalm....a police chief summarily executes a bound "suspected" Viet Cong....A young girl kneels and mourns over the body of a university student....REAL photos can change the "REAL" world...If you are currently in power in this country your nightmares are all inhabited by photographers.

[Be Brave]

16. Yes! n/t

[lindisfarne]

17. Absolutely. It's a duty. Photos don't have to show faces. But the media

must act in a way to hold the government accountable.

18. With Bush administration in charge, how will we ever know the truth?

Does this really need to be asked? :sarcasm:
