RELEASE THE DEATH PHOTOS: an interesting pair of letters from the Washington Post. In the first, the attitude is “don’t release the photos, but I don’t trust the administration, someone should look at them” and in the second “I fail to understand why some people feel entitled to know and see everything” - which is exactly the point of those who want the photos released.

Release the photos (they’re going to come out anyway; either officially or by leak). It’s time to quit kowtowing to the “sensibilities” of the Arab street. If they get mad and want want to “kill infidels”, that’s fine, but they really ought to consider who has the bigger guns.
