Tigerman,
I understand and appreciate your concerns. I really do. However, I do not find posting links to an open source as plastering pics all over the internet. That is why I made my suggestion of click-able links. I am not saying we should track down and post the pics, but if we have an open source news letter/blog of some sort, posting a link to that article should not be forbidden simply because of a graphic photo.
I liken this to my chosen career field. I am a Military Police Officer. In training we see videos of cops who are killed, or of IED killing our soldiers. When we are preparing for deployment or going out of the wire, some of us view YouTube for videos of IEDs and snipers, to keep our mind from becoming complacent about what could happen to us. I am also an instructor, and when I am teaching about the .50 cal M2 machine gun I show a pictures of what can happen if you do not get the head space and timing correct or if you improperly work the weapon. These are very graphic photos, but it puts that in your mind so you tend to be mode careful.
