It just struck me as odd that every newspaper displayed images of the burned bodies being dragged through the streets on the front page. Yet around 9/11 newspapers refrained from displaying graphic images.
What is the difference? In fact I would argue that the pictures from Fallujah were more graphic and disturbing.
So does much of the American media have an ulterior motive for displaying these pictures? Are they just telling a story? Or are these newspapers, which in large part are anti-war in their editorial content, trying to to sway public opinion against the war?
If they are displaying these pictures in an attempt to sway public opinion, is it exploitation of the victims?
The American Marine Division has the highest combat effectiveness in the American armed forces. It seems not enough for our four divisions to surround and annihilate its two regiments.

I watch CNN and only today they show the burned bodies hangs up
They even did not show everything.
They didn't show how the barbaric draged the bodies
over the streets.
IMO they do not have ulerior motives.
Showing or not showing those pics eventually will not change nothing.

I can understand your anger about this.
The things are:
1. those images are now everywhere, in every country, they are flooding over in Chinese sites, they must be used by Muslims for enjoying and laughing at the fates of the invaders of Bush in Iraq. They say: USA, superpower, sowhat, we can babecue your people like this.
2. If I was American, my blood would boil, and ask for revenge, kill. But I am not. As for me, I just read USA is selling long range Radar to Taiwan. U are creating trouble everywhere.
3. It's all fault of Bush. Bush must go, Kerry should replace him. USA media is controlled by Jews. Jews are using those pictures to send THE messages to whom? For what?
4. American people will get scared viewing those pictures, they will vote now against Bush. America will change, due to failure in Iraq: you are superpower, but you are NOT the boss of Everyone.

Their ulterior motive is money... and graphic violence sells.
They didnt behave similarly in 9/11 because the countries mood was very different. They would have been come down on hard.
United We Stand.
"Now, while still pursuing the method of realising our overall strategic concept, I come to the crux of what I have travelled here to say. Neither the sure prevention of war, nor the continuous rise of world organisation will be gained without what I have called the fraternal association of the English-speaking peoples. This means a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States. Thus, whatever happens, and thus only, shall we be secure ourselves and able to work together for the high and simple causes that are dear to us and bode no ill to any. Eventually there may come—I feel eventually there will come—the principle of common citizenship, but that we may be content to leave to destiny, whose outstretched arm many of us can already clearly see.

Dan,
lol
Don't take it as offense, it is actually a compliment.
Everyone know the Power of Jews in USA, they control not only Media, but also Finance Economy Foregin Affairs.
Actually my first thought about this is that Jews may want to show the pictures to public to stir up the feeling of Revenge therefore harder measures against Terrorists in M.E. for the sake of Israeli Interests.

In Others: " "
Total number of Jews alive in The Earth today:Around 15.000.0000 and one little country land:ISRAEL
And about ARABS how know the alife numbers of them and the countries numbers?!
I am not sure about the race or people they are now but in countries numbers they are very bigger and we can think are them who are trying guide others in political,social and religioses ways and not The Jews neither here neither in China.
