Me waving pictures in your face from WW2 battlegrounds would be wrong, me handing you an envelope of the same pictures after telling you what they are is not. This is the same thing. It's horrible, but a horrible thing has happened and we can learn from it. Getting rid of the images benefits no one, giving people the choice to see them or not hurts no one who has not made the choice to view them. As for relatives of the dead it is the fact they are related to a recently deceased person that causes pain, not that people witness it. It is a sensitive issue and should be treated in a sensitive way, but that does not involve censoring it.
