Well, we can't all size things for your small monitor Bob. They're about postcards-zied on mine, but perhaps larger-resoltuion versions will show up on Google images in a day or two. I don't know whether the FBI intended for them to be released or not, according to CBS the pictures were obtained from a leaked intelligence bulletin to local forces. If the FBI really wanted them widely available I imagine they'd put hem up on FBI.gov, and who knows, maybe they will.

I just don't see the value in insulting people for having their systems run to your specifications. It makes you sound like a dick. I suggest you write to them and offer to host the high-resolution versions or something.

Yeah, I'll write to Reuters and see if they need to borrow some bandwidth from some random guy with a cable modem. There's a plan.

Seriously: why are you defending the all-too-common practice of posting miniscule images in important news stories?

I'm not defending it Bob. I'm objecting to you whining about people being bozos, and I wish now I had just ignored you the first time.

I'd certainly not try to discourage you.
