The descriptions of the condition of the bodies from the Fallujah massacre is bad enough, I would prefer not to look for the photos. I know for a fact that I saw photos of charred pieces of bodies, apparently you did too. You've compared the photos of Abu Ghraib of 9/11, too. I've never seen photos of what the bodies looked like after they landed. Have you?

From what I understand, they were originally posted on line by the AP but were pulled about an hour later for some strange reason. Perhaps that "strange" reason was consideration for the families and friends of the victims. When the victims are Americans and their names are known, showing pictures of the carnage is different from showing pictures of anonymous Iraqi victims. I imagine that that consideration will always trump any other considerations such as the one you raise.
