I really don't have a problem with it. Do I care to see it? Not really. Do I care that CBS did it? Not really. Would I care if CBS showed pictures of JFK? Not really.

It's getting distressingly easy for threads in this forum to turn into UK v USA slanging matches lately. But this issue has got very little to do with that. CBS could be a Brazilian TV station for all I care; it is demonstrably not in the public interest for these images to have been shown. The only way in which the fact CBS is a US TV station is relevant is in any duscussion of how media decency laws view such images.
FYI, the (hypocritical IMO) British Press constantly complains about the antics of (mainly) European Papparazzi photographers harassing our Royal family with long lenses while they are holidaying overseas. America is not getting any special treatment here.
