Oh, so it is somehow okay as long as that dead person is anonymous? Look, if they want to show the flag-draped coffin of a Bush supporter with the consent of the family, go for it. But to use the image of a dead man with no regard for who he/she was or what they believed, or without any idea whether that person would approve or disapprove of the use of their image, is presumptuous and wrong.

Not only is it somehow OK, it is the right thing to do.

Why don't you explain exactly why it is wrong to refer to that day and show fleeting scenes of what happened.

And I'll presume that someone murdered on that day would not object to the person prosecuting the war on terror referring to their death anymore than a murder victim objects to the prosecutor showing the jury a picture of their corpse.
