Hi I'm sorry, but just no. Though I am personally shocked just like everyone else, I feel that OSM is IMO not the place for these kind of messages. I would rather have your changeset reverted.
Furthermore, you have no right to speak on behalf of *all* OSM mappers. There may even be terrorists here for all we know. If this were to appear in the press like you suggest, I would feel ashamed and have the feeling that we are using the events for our own cause, which too many people are already doing.
