I suppose he is thinking of the people who learned about the massacre
when they saw the photo pictorial about it in Life magazine, as I did
when I was a kid. I was shocked, disgusted, angry, bewildered, etc.,
when I saw it, and I suspect that many others felt the same. No one who
saw those photos at that time -- when they were still news, in other
words -- could possibly forget them.
It's like Abu Ghraib. A picture is worth a thousand words. Just as many
people are angry now about abuses committed by US service personnel,
many more people were angry then, because the abuses were so much worse.
