Don't get it.

Can't quite get my head round all the furore about the revealing of the identities of the killers of Baby P. Top story on TV and headline news in just about every paper, but why? What does it add to the sum of human knowledge? We already knew in graphic detail what happened to the poor little mite, and who was responsible, so how does giving them names, and publishing their photographs alter things? I don't know why, but I find the whole thing a little uncomfortable - sort of voyeuristic porn. And at the end of the day, if they are ever released, now they have been identified we will doubtless have to pay for them to be relocated and given new identities.
