Interesting Way to Celebrate 9-11 Anniversary

CNN and other media outlets choose to "self censor" themselves after September 11, 2001 so not to "enrage the nation". We now see that these outlets that did not want to "enrage a nation" four years ago sue for the ability to photograph/video such images (from New Orleans) that they "self-censored" before, WHY? One can only assume -- to "enrage a nation".
CNN.com - U.S. won't ban media from New Orleans searches
HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Rather than fight a lawsuit by CNN, the federal government abandoned its effort Saturday to prevent the media from reporting on the recovery of the dead in New Orleans.
Joint Task Force Katrina 'has no plans to bar, impede or prevent news media from their news gathering and reporting activities in connection with the deceased Hurricane Katrina victim recovery efforts,' said Col. Christian E. deGraff, representing the task force.
