And as for why the public saw "little of the ugly" of war? Because the administration that you support tried to insure that no one saw "ugly images" by censoring the media. Can't have it both ways

Wrong.
The Bush administration gave the media and individual reporters and photographers the best and most open access they have ever had to a battlefield and our combat units.
The reporting was up to them. The reporters failed us miserably.


While I disagree with this (and most would...if so, why have we seen no pictures? Why was the person fired who released pictures of caskets to the media?), you failed to respond to the more substantive part of the post. Very Bush-like of you.
