The government has all of the power, and the government of and by the people needs transparency to serve those people. If they don't make a difference, then what's the harm in releasing them? The terrorists want to kill us no matter how many photos they have. Assuming they're sitting around and these photos are what gets them to decide to attack them is just silly. Keeping these photos secret doesn't heal the country as the outcry will continue. Ignoring problems doesn't make them go away. The only way to move past this is to act like adults. Owning up to the wrong doing is the only way to move forward.

I agree, that is exactly why it was a problem. Even though it was something that seemed small and harmless, it was a person charged with faithfully executing federal law breaking that law.
