It's really a shame that the perps in this case can't detect the obvious relationship of such sites to the freedoms of expression and the press that the (classic form of) 'hacker' community allegedly holds so dear.

I too felt a brief surge of satisfaction (yes I'm also offended by pix of dead soldiers) but it was quickly overpowered by shame in the community at the blatant disregard for freedom shown here.
