The killer of VT sent in some video and stuff to NBC, and people are thinking should it be open up for all to see.

I don't know this is really the best way to handle... I am not disagree with what Dave said, but I am concerned we are doing exactly what the killer want us to do; view and publicize it (even worst, put it on YouTube).

It's the knowing that the act will indirectly "glorify" in some way that we should not encourage. We are granting to this guy a honor (in a bad way) when we open these contents up for all to see. What you would think when you know these video will be viewed on the net and TV after you die? (getting excited? I am wondering maybe that how they feel?)

I hope NBC just turns it over to Authority, have it lock up for years before re-open it in public domain. Of course, meanwhile it can be accessed by those have a good reason to (i.e. academic), but not to those "just to see what the hype about" type.

How do we balance between public interest (to know the truth), and encouraging such evil act?
