Craning Necks at the Car Crash

Should pictures of dead bodies be shown during the news coverage of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath? On the one hand, it is necessary to show exactly how much devastation was wrought. Dead bodies, like it or not, bring it home to people, so to speak. However, it seems very disrespectful to show the corpses of loved ones and friends, and it may even be just a tool for sensational journalism. What do you think?

I personally believe that no faces should be shown. In fact, body bags would probably do, if one feels it necessary to illustrate how terrible this catastrophe was. I can't imagine how it would be to be watching television and see the body of someone I know and love.
