Thanks for posting that link Karen. I'm glad that this subject is, at the very least, being discussed. I doubt that most newspapers will link to photographs of future atrocities that will inevitably take place during this war, but imo, it is their duty as reporters of the news to make them available 24/7 to their readers. It is not necessary that newspaper readers be forced to look at an innocent civilian's head being cut off and held aloft. But whether there should be a link to such photos on washingtonpost.com or other Web sites, perhaps with a warning, seems like a much closer call to me, one worth discussing. It would give some readers a choice. This is a different and very brutal kind of war, and it may go on for a long time, with digital technology intruding more and more on news decision-making.
