Meanderings of a Monkey Juggler

Now then here's a thing.  When a really nasty event happens should the papers continually re-refer to it and dissect it?  Perhaps.  What if the event was the brutal murder of 2 young girls?  What could be gained from knowing more detail about the events then?  Perhaps a modus operandum or a hint of what can be used to stop future similar events.  That might be useful to some I suppose.

I saw the front page of the News of the Gits yesterday.  Splash! Scream!  Huntley tells all!  It's a long and in-depth discussion of what Ian Huntley has told his mum about the sequence of events when he murdered 2 young girls in Soham.  Without exception NONE of it is necessary to further any understanding of Huntley or his actions.  What the story does do (in spades) is bring up old wounds for the girls' families.  The story has loads of hideous and dreadful detail - it reads more like a horror novel rather than a news story.  What the hell did the NotW expect this story to do?  There isn't a single positive aspect to the story; not one.  How can they live with themselves?

I don't know.

Have fun.
