15. In the abstract, if the images were collected by public agencies
...they belong in the public sphere.

Specifically, I believe using those images to inflict emotional harm on the families is reprehensible and probably illegal.

I see a similarity to the soldier's family who didn't want their dead son's name on the anti-war t-shirt. The information was collected by a public agency, and released publicly, and there was no clear intent to do harm to the family.
