Bugg Smasher I tend to agree.I was not however suggesting suppressing the media,God (or Allah) forbid.But I think a lot of the sensationalism that follows an event such as 11/9 is often very irresponsible and creates the terrorists dream...a fear chainreaction.I.E a fallout disproportionate to the original attrocity.
What I think you referred to by way of away forward was really education.That applies to educating the supporters of these nutcases and to those who carelessly propagate the stories in which they need to feel successful.
The message that should always be sent to terrorists is that no matter how low they are willing to go...we will always go on as before and they will
never succeed.
