My point was simple. Too many people were involved, and too many pictures were taken, to expect there was even the SLIGHTEST chance of their airing being delayed any longer. Sure, CBS is morally culpable for showing them, but it's unrealistic to imagine a scenario in which someone didn't.
As for the debate, I don't think we NEED it for corrective action, I simply think it is a condition of American society that it is extraordinarily likely to accompany corrective action.
