The first people to object to the airing of the tapes and psychotic rantings were law enforcement working with the case, not families of the victims. No doubt the families carry more pain then anyone else but in all reality, did NBC ask for this, or perhaps it just feels like we need to make it all go away. I think it's dangerous to make it go away.
Law enforcement wanted control to protect the public but what American society needs in the face of terorrists and government corruption is transparency. NBC would have been hounded for information if it hadn't come forward with it. Perhaps it would have been better it those files were smuggled out by someone inside the investigation and posted to the internet. I don't see NBC did anything wrong actually. It would have all leaked out anyway.
The families, law enforcement and NBC need to find a way to heal all wounds rather than make a larger tear in the American fabric.
What's this guy's name again? Cho? I don't recall, I really haven't paid that close attention to a demented killer so much as how as a society we can address the violence that resulted from this insane act.
I don't believe understanding the dementia as an answer to that issue is effective so much as reflecting on our society to prevent the violence. I perfer not to get tangled up in victimization and who is most responsible. I doubt the victims of this tragedy would want their families to dwell on the killer so much as uplifting their memories to resolve of such acts reoccurring.
Regards.
