The U.S. has been at was with Afghanistan for several years now, and most people do not know what is going on over in the war zone. The media has tried to give the viewers the story about the war zone, but the military is trying to ban any picture taken of the war zone. There have been several pictures posted online of the U.S. soldiers torturing some of the terrorists, but the world has the right to know what these soldiers are doing. The U.S. needs to know that these soldiers are violating the law of cruel and unusual punishment, but since they are in Afghanistan does that not apply there? We have the right to know what goes on there. Even if the pictures are extremely gruesome the people have the right to see what their own children are doing and going through. If the pictures are too bad for a family viewing environment then those pictures need to be put on a website that states that they are for adults eyes only, and leave the cleaner pictures for the television. Finally, The government did come up with a reasonable system though to resolve some of the censoring issues. If a live video is being taken and some unexpected/ inappropriate even happens, the media has come up with the "three second rule," which makes it so that all live videos have a three second gap between the actual event and the viewers television. If there is something inappropriate that happens, then the media can censor it out before the viewers have a chance to view it.
