I believe that the media has a right and a duty to accurately report the war. We at home need to see the horrors of war, not a sanitized 'approved' version of war.
I have deep sympathy for the soldier's family, and I won't pretend to understand their pain. Yes, publishing the photos caused them additional pain, but picking and choosing which graphic photos/vids are acceptable is dangerously close to censorship and sanitization.
