I doubt it was the gov that was the real motive for not beating a dead horse with these pictures (origionally published in last September). Maybe some people recongize that a few pictures of 'ole Moe is not worth weeks upon weeks of riots and killings by angry Muslim radicals. They certainly have the right to publish them, but they also have the choise to not show them as well.
