Return of the Son of the Picture that Shames US Army
Remember the other day, when the clever journalists of Al Jazeera used a "telephoto lens" to photograph an American soldier cruelly frisking a little Afghan boy.Well it's happened again! Um, only this time it was in Iraq, and it was AP, and they didn't claim anything about shaming or nuthin', and didn't feel compelled to note what type of lens they used. In my experience, URLs to the Yahoo news photo sites are dynamic, so you can never find the same damned picture again when you want to (here's the link anyway). The actual jpeg URLs are static, though. So I've linked to that. Here's the caption: Two U.S. Army soldiers, of Charlie company, 1-22 Infantry regiment, 4th Infantry Division, look inside the pockets of an unidentified Iraqi boy while patroling a street in Tikrit, 193 km (120 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2003. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev)This was in the front section of the Houston Chronicle this morning. No shaming was cited. Posted by: Angie Schultz 2003-10-29 |
