Photo controversy continues

This morning's Ithaca Journal opinion pagecontinues yesterday's complaints about the Journal's publishing a photo including the body of a State Trooper killed in a shootout with bank robbers. One letter, from Monica Armstrong of Dryden, argues that:

Most of us realize when we see a headline that an officer has been shot we can in our minds visualize a horrific scene. We do not need a printed picture to enhance what we already have surmised.
