Today the NY Post is being condemned for having a photo of James Foley with an IS terrorist holding a knife to his throat on its cover.
Twitter is suspending accounts depicting any graphic imagery associated with Foley's beheading yesterday.
There were also a lot of demands for the video showing Foley and his captor just before and after his beheading to be removed from the youtube site yesterday.
Do you think it's wrong for those images to be shown because only pictures of James in good times should be publicized -- outta respect for him and his family, or because the images are too ugly, or because showing the images only gives terrorists the attention they want, or for any other reason?
Those are common sentiments that I've read this morning.
I have strong opinions about it, but am really curious about how others here feel.
