Well said. These monsters want to harm us regardless of what we do. If they have the opportunity to carry out an attack on America or its allies — they will do it! Pictures or not, they seek our downfall anyway. It might give them an excuse for the despicable act, but we ought to remember that they sought “revenge” on 9/11 — before we went to war with them and published pictures.
I believe, to the contrary, that gruesome images of the “Emir” dead, will break their morale even more and it might even have a positive effect. Every warrior, human or not, needs “esprit de corps” to fight a battle.
I, respectfully, disagree with Chairman Rogers and President Obama.
