Oh, it's not something I want/need to see, but I think it's something that someone needs to be able to see. Not just for the forensic possibilities, tracking down missing people and identifying them visually (which is a process that'll need as much data as it can get), but just the fact that in the absence of proof to the contrary we've been seeing spin from the disaster to shift/avoid responsibility, and that really bothers me. Not only in the simple fact of denying the facts of the disaster and the response but in the attempt to censor and suppress and intimidate in its aftermath.
I'm trying to be thoughtful and respectful of the dead, too, but I'm more worried about the living and the slow strangulation of the American democracy....
