Let me clarify my position by first stating that I think showing video of soldiers being killed by enemy snipers is in bad taste. It is sensationalistic and unnecessary. While I accept that showing the video may be in poor form, if it serves to outrage people and diminish grass roots support for the war then I have little problem with it. People should be outraged, and if CNN showing these videos helps accomplish that, then I am more than willing to forgive them for their bad taste.
