| Return of the Son of the Picture that Shames US Army |
| 2003-10-29 |
| 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. |

#4 Gee, do you think the NYT editors are trying to tell us something? Yeah, that they're clueless idiots who don't realize that if they get their obvious wish (U.S. loses, Islamizoids win) they'll be among the first to have their heads chopped off. I think these terrorist-enabling assholes truly believe that if some Islamonazi manages to set off a nuke in NYC, the Times and their minions magically won't be affected. Wankers. They passed disgusting a long time ago and are picking up speed. |

| #3 That picture (the new one) is front-page, above-the-fold in our "newspaper of record", the New York Times. (A spot held one day in 1945 by the flag raising on Suribachi.) And the front-page picture yesterday was of a young American soldier looking very frightened. Gee, do you think the NYT editors are trying to tell us something? |

| #2 After reading the baby story, stuff like this isn't even worth a second look. |

| #1 Somebody want to email Yvonne Ridley with this. She'll need to add it to her War Crimes file in time for the next Human Rights or Civil Liberties or whatever the hell it is Convention. Oh, the humanity. |
