You should be ashamed of yourselves for publishing the name and picture of the obviously extremely troubled individual attempting to end his life. Yes, it's probably legal under Freedom of Information Act, but is it ethical, sympathetic or appropriate? No. The students who run The Post clearly have a lot to learn about journalistic integrity. It does no one any good to have a name and photo ' it only makes it more difficult for the individual, his co-workers and his family, and it is likely to ruin any chances he might have of coming back to his position and/or finding a new one. Just because you know the name does not mean you have to print it.
