James Foley: To Publish or Not

The story of James Foley is a sensitive one.  While there are some who believe that the imagery should not have of been part of the news coverage, I think a limited part of images should have been incorporated.  I think pictures and visuals really ad to a story and the citizens of America should not be completely shielded from such things.  This is the world we are living in and I think everyone needs to fully understand what is happening, through the news presenting all levels of the different types of coverage they can.  I would not include the footage of James being beheaded or pictures with his head cut off, due to showing respect for him and his family.  However, the footage of him talking I think should have of been published.
