The State Department caused a bit of a stir with a recent tweet from its terrorism-focused Twitter account:

(Images censored by Twitchy. Click on the screenshot to see the original tweet.)

The @ThinkAgain_DOS is an official State Department Twitter account with the purpose of spreading “truths about terrorism.” And as ABC News reports, @ThinkAgain_DOS tweets like the one above are “meant to dissuade anyone from being radicalized and becoming a terrorist.”

But for some, the photos aren’t so much a deterrent to terrorists as an exercise in bad taste:

@ThinkAgain_DOS Brought to you by the same people who think that Marie Harf as State Dept. Spokesperson is a good idea.

Why would the State Department tweet something like this? Not only is it inappropriate, it's unprofessional. https://t.co/DiKH8zpNHf

Is there some reason for the corpse-porn? Are these people important or something? Or do you just groove on this? @ThinkAgain_DOS

@ThinkAgain_DOS WTF? This is from our State Department? What are you, third-world jihadist wanna-bes? & ISIS expands even during airstrikes

@ThinkAgain_DOS wow really?! This is quite unnecessary…what are you trying to accomplish with this? Who runs this account…a 15yo??

Photos like this may rub some people the wrong way, and we can certainly debate the effectiveness of this particular State Department strategy. But here’s a question worth asking: Would anyone object to seeing these corpse photos?

@ThinkAgain_DOS Where's the Bin Laden photos???

— Jon McC (@fatdaddybulldog) September 24, 2014

@ThinkAgain_DOS Hey DOS, I want to see Bin Laden's pics. I know you took them. Show us damnit.
