If one of the victims was here now, and he took the picture, he could grant
a free license and we could use it.

Anyway, I don't think there's as much a separation between this and our
fair use image policy as you seem to think (not in this message, in previous
ones).  It's the *very same* attitude that creates a ridiculous fair use
policy which also creates a ridiculous no-proof-it's-PD policy.
