I agree that perhaps these photos should not be released, because it will only serve to inflame the masses on both sides.

My problem with the outing of Valerie Plame was not so much about the endangerment of her co-workers, but the loss of valuable information she was working on during a time of "war".
I would go even further that it's a STRONG message to those who ARE agents.....make sure your family keeps their mouth shut about the administration and it's policies (I also think that the people have a valid concern for the Supreme court nominee John Roberts who's wife works for a Catholic anti-abortion program).

And you asked
>"We already have quotes from terrorists who claim they were inspired by the "Koran in a toilet" incident. Do you lie awake worrying about that? "

No, I only worried when Alfred E. Neuman decied to invade Iraq on false pretences, called out "Bring it on!" and then did a photo op on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit saying "Mission Accomplished".
Since then I have cringed and accepted our fate for his poor judgement in this part of our history.
