Was the British olympic commission wrong to include Marcus Harvey's portrait 'Myra' as part of a presentation promoting Britain's hosting the 2012 games?

Obviously it was designed to pesent Britain as a 'happening' cultural centre, but is showcasing a painting of an infamous child murderer the right way to do it?

Here's the painting:

 


And here's a couple of links about the portrait, and Hindley herself. For those that aren't aware of the controversy surrounding either:
