And what is political expediency? Why is it not political expediency to try to maximize the impact of the war in order to throw out the republicans? WHat is the "true" impact of the war? You say showing sniper kills of US troops is unconscionable unless it's to try to get us out of Iraq. So your view of unconscionability turns on whether it is something with which you agree? That is too relative for me. I think all war coverage is politcal, no matter what, and so it should be governed by taste and strategic ocnerns, balanced against freedom to know. IOW, as long as we have competing outlets for news and courts trying to lkeep the press free, we'll be oK. IOW, pretty much whay we have now.
