Do you understand the other argument which has nothing to do with PC, or dictating what the people can handle, and has everything to do with stifling his propaganda message?

Simply put...NO! Because there is no logical / sensible basis for this...AT ALL!

Looks like a big jealous micro-management effort.
What are they so afraid of?

I understand your take on it, that you don't want any valuable truth left out.

You imply that by hearing the full message that it will show the world the vile awful truth of Islamic Terrorism. The problem is the percentage of the population it actually inspires.
As we've seen with Trump, you can give him a full un-filtered loudspeaker, and while most of the world will see a horrible racist bigoted man revealed for what he is, by his own words--- NOT everyone sees it that way. Some get inspired. You may be surprised by how this shooter's despicable words could be used to inspire and recruit others.
I'm not going to digress into a Trump argument with you. This thread isn't about him, it is about the AG of the US publically stating the government will knowingly and intentionally manipulate information before releasing to the public.

Lastly, ISLAMIC TERRORISTS are already motivated to do whatever they're going to do. I reject any notion that redacting selected information, in any form, will further prevent the inspiration of ISLAMIC TERRORISTS or recruitment of others.

Yes...I understand. But while my opinion may not be popular, let me run it by you. If there is some amazing level of propaganda there that would convert someone to his belief, support his group, etc...I see that as a good thing. Terrorism requires a level of stealth. You hide among the sheep and then attack when they don't expect it. You can get into places, buy things because you are not visible as a danger. Let the propaganda flow...let those who would be "converted" by it be exposed...and then kill them. I'd much rather be fighting a visible, known enemy than one that hides among the sheep.
Why would you want to give this terrorist exactly what he would want? His final words and allegiance broadcast to the world?

I think the "legitimate reason" she is calling into action is either "We don't want you to know" or "It makes Muslim terrorists look like...ummm...terrorists".
