Another obscenity bust. Pics of dead people are not ok.

That may concern some media execs but I think we know they're afraid of something a little more dangerous then just public opinion.

I've never had much faith in the American legal system, not since these trials.

I still remember loads of scenes from Vietnam - I think the one that stands out in my mind was the viet-cong boy officer in the street with a gun to his head as the bullet went through - it was in every newspaper back then and was just a little taste of what was really happening.

It amazes me that there are so many Americans that just want to turn away from this thinking that if they dont see the real news they dont have to deal with it personally - well - having been there and done that to coin a phrase - its about time the US people got a taste of what really happens in war and maybe they would get off their apathetic asses and do something about it - just like all the vets and students did something about it in the late 60s. Its a shame watching all these sheep that call themselves reporters glossing over the facts with their little sound bytes - we lost "insert number of US soldiers blown into pieces today" but in local news there is still some college student missing in Aruba and we have 24 hour coverage on the ground there to make sure we have up to the minute coverage of the "alleged wrongdoers" being released from their jail in Aruba again"
Give me a fucking break

"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"

I think that pretty much sums it up. People don't want to accept what war is. It's about killing other people... plain and simple. People can candy coat it all they want, but those photos and videos are exactly what happens! We all talked about the mis"Information Minister" in Iraq who denied the fact that Iraq was being invaded, even as you could see coalition forces marching in the background. Do we really want to be like that? Just deny the truth is out there! There are soldier and civilians who give their lives every day because of a bunch of morons!

The worst part of this is that with events occuring that were way worse that My Lai (just my opinion that this was where the population of the US finally had had enough - and a few soldiers got dinged for doing exactly what the administration and the generals told them to do) the American people still have the audacity to drive around in their SUVs with little ribbon magnets saying support the war ( and confusing the hell out of supporting the troops with the war itself) when they have no idea what is really going on. As far as Im concerned every little one of them needs to be shown every video and pic out there of what happens in a real war - till they puke their guts out - or start crying like half the soldiers I knew when they just couldnt handle it anymore.

Not much has changed in the legal system has it. Condem the people you don't like, don't understand or share the same standards as you.
