Photos Washington Doesn't Want You To See

Why are photos of dead bodies not being splattered across US newspapers and TV screens? Salon looks at the issue:
A picture of a dead child only represents a fragment of the truth about Iraq -- but it is one that we do not have the right to ignore. We believe we have an ethical responsibility to those who have been killed or wounded, whether Iraqis, Americans or those of other nationalities, not to simply pretend that their fate never happened. To face the bitter truth of war is painful. But it is better than hiding one's eyes.
Salon has this photo gallery.

Sorry about the crap coming into the Comments all of a sudden - anyone know a solution?

Do what Jeff Goldstein does with his Turing Word machine at Protein Wisdom. Entering the word you see in a compter generated giff prevents spambots from spamming you 'cos bots can't read.
