Yeah, well I'd tend to agree. People who are willing to pay for a war should
be willing to see what damages their money paid for. On the other hand, I
didn't see the photo, so it's hard to confirm. There are plenty of editors
who don't have the integrity to edit properly. Are they to be held up as the
standard we should aspire to?

"At it's best, photojournalism is both mirror and window, a means to
enlightenment that connects subject and viewer through the heart, eye and
mind of the photojournalist. It's the photographers responsibility to show
truth with the camera." - Tom Kennedy, Washington Post.
