Paul Z wrote: Rakesh thinks it's inconsequential but I don't. ____________ Let me be clear: i think the question of whether the footage was faked or recycled from a previous war is inconsequential in regards to the criticism of the use of it in the aftermath of the war. as i said in my last reply to allin: " no one was interviewed--not the celebrators or the on-lookers (who did not even enter in the picture). so it seems to me to have been a pernicious use of imagery. we don't know what these kids were thinking, what they were happy about, why they were happy, etc. Maybe they were celebrating the hit on the pentagon, not the world trade center. maybe they didn't even know what the latter was. who knows? seems to be irresponsible journalism to me. but there are many worse examples of journalistic abuse."
