WE think it's tasteless, but combine a culture where domestic terrorism was de rigor for so very long and the fact that there's an ocean (and then some) between Lower Manhattan and Channel 4's HQ in London, and I don't think they'd find the 911 calls so tasteless. In much the same way, I think US networks wouldn't hesitate to broadcast the 999 calls after the Docklands bombing in '96 or the mass transit bombings from a few years ago - it's OK for broadcast after the watershed, because it didn't happen HERE.
