I think what bothers me about this is similar to the actions of the government during the second world war. There was a great debate about showing dead bodies on the "Movietone" news shorts. It was considered that it would be demoralizing to the public to see dead American bodies sloshing around in the surf of some Pacific atoll. Finally, they permitted such scenes to be shown. The result was a solidification of resolve among the civilians, not the predicted feeling of "this is far too expensive in American lives, we should quit and come home".

The more the public knows, the more they will understand the seriousness of the situation. Not to mention that showing these tapes is graphic proof of the depth of the problem and runs contrary to the concept of "we are winning" at this point in time.
