In reply to the discussion: Lynch: Authorities to release limited transcripts of calls with Orlando shooter [View all]No, the AG is not telling us Exactly what is being edited out, only a vague reference to the subject of the content being edited. You are also ignoring the fact that 99% of those who eventually read the transcript won't be aware of the fact that it was edited or what the material that was edited was referring to.
Again, no useful purpose is served by editing this transcript. In order to accurately record history, primary material is vital, not material that has been edited by an un-elected individual, who is doing what "they" perceive is "good".
As far as photo's, etc., yes I'm equally troubled by those not being released. An image is worth a thousand words.
Photo's of the scarred backs of slaves, or the victims of Auschwitz or a naked Vietnamese girl who was burned with napalm are horrific, yet are also powerful images that offer perspective to following generations. There are all sorts of horrific pictures in the public domain, while I have no problem waiting a while until this incident is not as fresh in peoples memories, at some point the photos should be released so that the heinous nature of this event won't be ignored or diminished by those in future years. I'm an adult, I don't need the government deciding what I should or should not see.
