I believe that images like that need to be shown. Human suffering should not be swept under the rug, and these kinds of horrors need to be made real. So that would argue for leaving the image in with a graphic warning. But at the same time, if you put up a graphic warning, DUers who for whatever reason don't feel comfortable looking at those images will miss the chance to learn about this story...which would argue for taking the image out.

I could respect either decision on your part.

And thank you for bringing this to broader attention, by the way. I did not know about it until your post.
