we need to make it sanitary. just like the reality shows and Disneyworld.
Yes... we can't have real life (and death) upsetting Mr. & Mrs. America.
They can't be trusted with the hard truth.
And most importantly, when the American public see pictures of the actual horrific deaths that have resulted from the tragedy, they might actually get even angrier at the government than they already are.
Obviously, we must keep this from the public and thus prevent them from knowing the full extent of the disaster.
Of course, all of this is bull, and amounts to government trying to control what the American people are allowed to know.
This in itself is un-American, and anti-democratic in every sense and is an outrage. No other administration in history has so blatantely attempted to control the media than the Bush administration. They truly make the Nixon administration look like raving liberals by comparison.
This edict clearly crosses over the line from democracy to facism. If we are to preserve our free way of life, this edict must not be allowed to stand. If the courts do not overturn this edict and uphold it, CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IS CALLED FOR. People who are in a position to secretly take pictures without permission, for example by using camera phones, should take them, sneak them out, and give them to the press. If the press lacks to backbone to print them, they should be distributed over the Internet.
Disobedience of Tyrants is obedience to God.
