((The pictures of the remains of Saddam Hussein's sons showed up, unedited at first, on all of the cable news channels last week.
The CBS coverage left it up to its affiliates to decide whether to show the graphic video; News-7 decided not to, a judgment endorsed by one viewer from Roanoke (Sandy Okerman): "Thank you for choosing not to air the photos of Saddam's sons...very personal and disturbing photographs...It is not necessary to stoop so low to report a story."
Another viewer (Angela Richardson/Roanoke) weighed in on the controversy over Roanoke police officer Butch Lewis's efforts to return to his job at Patrick Henry High School.
"I stand behind the resource officer who is fighting for his job 100%. I know personally that Roanoke City Schools don't report everything they should...(The school system) has a lot of cleaning up to do. It's the responsibility of the school staff to do so, not to encourage violent behavior. I sincerely hope that the officer gets his job back. The students who go to school to learn need someone on their side."
A rally by the union representing hundreds of workers at the Goodyear plant in Danville as they continue to work without a contract brought a critical letter from Hot Springs (John Bogan):
"I am sorry if anyone loses his or her job. The union cannot blame anyone but itself for jobs going South and North. The unions have gotten companies to pay the employees too much...I blame none but the unions for the shape the country is in now. They have priced themselves out of the market. They can blame none but themselves for it. If they keep wanting more and more there will be other companies going elsewhere looking for workers."
