Well, it depends of course on what kind of clutter you have, but I can tell you what works for me, and it's really cheap, and really easy.

You need a three hole punch, some page protectors, and some binders. (How many depends on you.)

News Desk: Don't Release the Photos : The New Yorker

by Philip Gourevitch

Of course there are photos. The post-September 11th decade, the decade of the War on Terror, the decade of the bin Laden manhunt, was also the decade of the digital photography revolution, the decade in which the world went camera-mad, and everyone became a walking recording studio (still photos, audio, video—all in your pocket, all in your phone), and every recording became instantly and infinitely replicable and transmissible: the decade where everything is depicted, and every picture must be shared. The attacks of 9/11 were the most photographed, most instantly and universally witnessed historical events ever until the release of another set of photographs: those showing the abuse, torment, and torture by American soldiers of their wards at Abu Ghraib prison, in Iraq. Photography was, of course, banned at Saddam’s hanging, and, of course, there was footage: a shaky, ghoulish, camera-phone snuff-film that captured better than any hi-def tripod shot could have the rough vengeance. Now, our technology is such that President Obama and his team were able to follow the assassination of Osama bin Laden live on Sunday, sitting in the situation room of the White House while the Navy SEALS’ raid on bin Laden’s not-so-safe house in Pakistan played out. So yes, they’ve got pictures of the dead terrorist and they’ve got film of his burial at sea, and now they’re debating if and when to release these pictures. The White House counterterrorism guru John Brennan said on TV, “This needs to be done thoughtfully.” It would have been much better if he had said, There is no need for this to be done—not any time soon. There is, in fact, a compelling need not to do it. ABC News is reporting that the first image of bin Laden that the White House may show us is “bloody and gruesome, with a bullet wound to his head above his left eye.” If it’s released, this is the image that will instantly supplant every other account of Sunday’s raid as the iconic representation of America’s moment of triumph over its most wanted enemy. Is that what we want—the official equivalent of the Saddam hanging video? Did we learn nothing from the past decade about the overwhelming power of crude images of violence to define and polarize our historical moment? The Abu Ghraib photographs were unofficial documents of an official policy that was supposed to be kept secret, but if nothing else, they should have taught us that a photograph of the violence you inflict is always, in very large measure, a self-portrait. In getting rid of bin Laden, Obama has made the greatest step yet toward being able to put that era behind us. Do we want a photo of bin Laden’s bullet-punctured skull to eclipse this moment?
