Any image that appears on a .gov site is in the public domain.
What this means is that if you select a picture from .gov site you are free to use it without the need for attribution.
However, I have been informed that some pictures do have copywright issues per this link (thanks Welshy) http://www.usa.gov/Topics/Graphics.shtml so while many pictures are available check on the site for copywright.
How do you get only the .gov sites?
Use a Google filter.
If you were looking for Train Wrecks, go to Google Images and add the site filter.

This will return only the pictures tagged as train wrecks only on .gov sites.
Hope this helps.
