So banned isn't the right word, they were sparing our feelings, and what feelings do you suppose such a photo brings up? Patriotism? Go USA!! I don't see any one banning those nice apple pie, American flag, photos, which to me are just as offensive and the crucifix in a bucket of urine. Image makers are just so much fodder to the advertising corporate hegemony were all brainwashed to believe doesn't exist. As long as the "official" view of reality is promoted all is well, if not then we must be protected? BS

The very picture from the first Iraq war with a burnt Iraq soldier dead
trying to get out of the amoured truck was shown in an early 90 issue of
American Photo and i recall it very well - shocking image ! It was not
banned but the newspapers did not want to print it because of its very
strong impact -
