More from Sullivan: WHAT THE MEDIA WON'T BROADCAST: Oh, they'll find out details of people's sex lives and sue to publish and broadcast them, and they'll show endless footage of Abu Ghraib abuses. But terrorist beheadings? Nah. Here's a classic statement of the journalist elite, from the Los Angeles Times: "Any news outlet — or any private individual, for that matter — who makes available footage of the actual beheadings is, to my mind, an accessory to the crime itself," says Kunkel, dean of journalism at the University of Maryland. "Those are the individuals who are essentially finishing the work of the terrorists, by delivering their grisly 'message.'" And why isn't the broadcasting of the Abu Ghraib abuses also adding to the humiliation of the victims? Remember that the acts occasioned shame (which was, in part, the point) and the shame is immeasurably amplified by repeated broadcasts. I think the answer is that the media will broadcast anything that will embarrass Americans or America. But they will give terrorists a pass. No surprises there, I guess. andrewsullivan.com
