I wonder if the person that threw them away didn't know what they were or knew what they were, but didn't comprehend the value of the photographs.

The article makes it clear that he didn't mean to throw them away, and did indeed understand their significance.

That will learn me to only look at the pictures...

Hiroshima pictures should be seen, but they should be seen alongside pictures of Philipina nuns being were raped and thrown out of third story windows by Japanese soldiers. Pictures of "The Rape of Nanjing". Oh, and throw in a few pics of Unit 731. http://www.centurychina.com/wiihist/germwar/731rev.htm

It would be fun to see pictures of the one million American and ten million Japanese casualties projected during the invasion of Japan, as well.

The show that war sucks and every country powerful enough to show it has an ugly side.

To put some perspective on the notion that US evil >> JP evil for using the nuclear bomb.

In school (in Europe) I remember being taught how horrible the two bombs were and that it was somewhat good that the war was put to en end, but with much more stress on the former. I was never taught about the atrocities committed by the Japanese.

Or even better yet, the atrocities committed by the Soviets.
