That editors (censors?) would be so self-intimidated as to not "consider the source," not trust their experienced artists, to be so cowed as to embarrass their very profession, says way too much about how America has changed in the last nine years. If you cannot say a word, then all "terrorists win" jokes aside, the terrorists win.
