I find the idea of showing any dead body, from the murder victim, to the car accident victim, to the war torn body in any foreign country to be reprehensible, not necessary, not fit for normal TV viewing and pandering to the absolute lowest common base interest in human nature available. Things like that do not belong on TV.

What purpose would it serve? Much like your favored animal videos, you think it might spur some people to think about what is actually going on over there and change their minds? How would it help America and it's peoples come together, come to grips with the war and agree on a way out of there, when at night the good old boob tube cranks out arms, legs, guts, blood, shattered bodies as normal fare? How would you propose to clearly indicate which bodies are US responsibility and which are the local loonie murderous suicide bombers? Or would that not be important? Just the gore, the horror and the tragedy?
