Once you have lived like that for a while, someone comes along and says "It's OK, I killed 'em" you're gonna need convincing!
Imagin the punishment for being publicly pleased that they are dead only to find out they are alive and well and on their way round!
Personaly, I believe they are dead. I understand the medical proof esp. the x-rays etc. but I am a western educated man from a (semi) free country.
[User Edit] Didn't want to double post & had more to say!
I would imagin right now you are thinking "Damn yes!" and you would be correct.... but..... what about the mother of a teenage girl who decided to publish pictures of her daughter dead on her bedroom floor in a bid to try and get youngsters off hard drugs?
I'm in agreement with her. Under certain circumstances, it is important to show pictures of the dead.

Side-stepping any pretences of being judgmental there, whether the bodies shown on tv were troops, dictators or the average man in the street is irrelevant - the US cannot complain about Iraq showing dead bodies on tv during their own crusade for 'peace' while doing exactly the same for their own agendas.
