I know a lot of publications (the WS is a good example), would never have printed these, other than to make a point of the fact that freedom of the press wasn't called into question (and the fact that it has become such a hot issue).
It would be like printing graphic pictures of a horrific auto accident - it would be perfectly legal, but, most if not all publications would not print or depict such a scene. It would offend many people. So, my question is, why try and stir the pot in the Muslim world by doing this - especially with the deteriorating relations between the Middle East and the west?
Anyway, to me, this isn't an issue of freedom of the press - it's an issue of using good judgement.

It's for educational purposes don't you know? A public service. Let everyone know what the fuss is about because it is
impossible to see these images in Canada if you want to so they
must to be published. The Western Standard must display them because nobody knows what the images in question look like. It's got nothing to do with money or publicity or delusions about being some self-styled anti-PC crusader.
