Maggie: Great post, and your right on target. The media could not give us enough photos of the abuse of POWs and poor terrorists confined at Gitmo. But God forbid that we the American public actually see what the enemy is capable of doing to our friends, family, and fellow citizens. My wife and I cried when we saw those photos/film years ago, tears of anger and sadness at the same time. That those people were forced to make such a decision was/is unthinkable. And then we were angry later on when we read how the media was protecting us from the negative reactions to those pictures/videos. When we saw the devastation of the USS Cole first hand on a tour of her after she returned from Yemen my wife broke down in tears but when asked if she wanted to leave the ship, she replied, “No I need to see this. All Americans need to see this. We need to know just how cruel and determined our enemy is.” But as far as I know no pictures were ever released of the damage to the Cole on the inside of the ship in what was left of the galley where most of the crew were when the bomb went off. That was an excellent post. My wife and I both mean that. Thank-you

I saw the falling man for the first time last night and when i saw the picture i did’nt want the falling man to be revealed. That takes away the mystery to the picture what makes the picture so special is that whilst he is falling you see a spirit inside just escaping life. He is not falling to his end but falling to a new begginning.

Aye Chihuahua and Flopping Aces, from one blogger to another, Thank You for this.

I had never seen this before tonight. It is, perhaps, one of the most important things I have ever sat through. It literally moved my soul.

Eight years on, and with all the nonsense conspiracy “truther” crap getting more and more unnecessary and obscene recognition … of all the images I recall from that day over the last eight years I recall this one that was so quick to appear and disappear, like some 1950s theater subliminal frame to boost the snack bar traffic.

For all the “trutherism” we have tolerated, especially from celebrities, and low IQ members of Congress, and now even people hired to be within the inner circle of the Oval Office, the real conspiracy is the `rationing’, and downright scrubbing, of these images from that day … by the media that for the following several years screamed how it felt the American people needed to witness the “realities of war”, whether through battlefield casualties, an enemy sniper in a window firing on our troops below as the ‘photo-journalist’ blandly captured the atrocity, to Flag draped coffins returning home on an Air Force cargo plane.

The real conspiracy of September 11, 2001 is how the media took the ‘humans’ out of the images … the dead and dying humans, who were so viciously and wrongly attacked, and leaving a gaping hole for the “truthers” to build a nest of fiction inside of. The media removed the humans from 9/11 and replaced them with a rounded-off number. The same way they turned our troops from brave men and women serving their duty in their mission to a body-tally scoreboard in an agenda to diminish and demonize a President and an Administration … and even to the point of aiding the enemy with propaganda. The media for the last eight years created its own mission to make it seem as if we were the real enemy, the bad guy, by deciding for us when and which ‘bodies’ we should see. It was a work of master manipulation.

The media controlled the context of this fight for the last eight years. They removed the pictures of the humans, leaving only distant images of burning and falling buildings for the “truthers” to stick their red “look here!” arrows all over with their phantom theories that outstanding science publications and engineers have continually debunked. Google WTC 9-11. The majority of pictures that come up page after page are linked to conspiracy sites and are polluted with the arrows and lines and circles.

What the media has done to the American people since that September morning equals what the enemy did that morning. I’m sorry. Did I say “equals”? I really mean surpasses. The American people trusted the media in this country (to some degree). They took the trust of the American people and betrayed it, used and abused it. They insist we must see pictures of dead Soldiers and Marines, but we must never be reminded that they died to prevent the rest of us from becoming those pictures that were being hidden from us.

@Mike’s America: It’s obvious then that you weren’t watching CNN, with the BS they were trying to push about the Coast Guard.
