The propaganda value of that would be inestimable.
Instead, consider the downward spiral: From videotapes, to e-mail, to audiotapes, to mailed unsigned essays of Unabomber length.
What next? Communiques via Aldis lamp? Fatwas by semaphore?
He's dead. Or so mangled that pictures of him would be the opposite of inspiring. Either way, it's a good sign.
