This info was put out so folks could see who the killer was and what he was about. The idea that it should be kept from everyone to prevent copycats is ridiculous.

Amen. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking. The same group that was so upset that the networks stopped showing the planes crashing into the WTC towers are the same ones that are so upset that the press is finally releasing information.

I'm upset that they stopped showing the planes crashing into the towers, or won't show Daniel Pearl's beheading video, or Nicholas Berg's beheading video. The public has a right to know what we're up against in the war on terror, and need to be constantly reminded of the pure vicious evil that these savage bastards we're fighting against harbor.

I had exactly the same thought. I don't know where such a line would be drawn, and the media is in the business of drawing viewers. Clearly, this drew viewers, so it met that test. It was current, topical, and provided some information about a major news story. I don't know how one would decide NOT to air.
