I'm in agreement with her. Under certain circumstances, it is important to show pictures of the dead.

good point...
so did the next of kin authorise the yanks to publish the pics of saddam's 2 dead sons?
I can understand where Russ is coming from on this - it's double standards to complain about breaking the geneva convention by showing dead american troops but then thinking it's acceptable to show dead iraqi leaders.
Did they even ASK the iraqi people or at least wait to be asked to publish photographic proof? It appears to me that they rushed these photos out to the media.
