Hard to mount an intellectual retort. The USA wants to have an 'invisible to the public' war of agression.

No photos please, we are sooooo sensitive about unnecessary (read potentially embarressing and politically shameful)) reportage of the results of our forign policy.

"US Hypocrisy astonishes the world"

If I didn't expect it, I'd be astonished too.

I am sorry but the AP not only had a right to post that picture but a moral duty to do so. They are supposed to tell the good the bad and the ugly of American Policy. Welp that's part of it too.

funny how there is no outrage at the dead iraqi or afghani pictures.

You've got nothing to be sorry for, Larry.

More dead brown people, mission accomplished.

Sanitized war coverage is so much more civilized. I don't want to think of all those pesky dead people when I'm going about my normal, uninterupted life.

Well said! Partial birth abortions are next on the list, right?

Anyone locate any Bay of Pigs wounded photographs showing randomly strewn limbs and screaming agony?
Why were these not juxtaposed during the Ted Kennedy funeral with smiling pix of Bobby and John??

I doubt the abortion-on-demand crowd would blink an eye after all it's "only a zygote".

I'm not antiabortion but the cavalier attitude of a lot of the pro-abortion folks is more than disturbing.

First, no one is "pro-abortion". They're either pro-choice, or anti-governmental meddling.

Second, abortion pictures are posted all the time, sometimes on the side of vehicles:

Neither male nor female can counter the 'logic' of "IT," the danniforth schizo.

Brown people don't count in US foriegn policy.

I don't know, but you can sure find a lot of photos from the Vietnam war. Government learned a lesson from that.

"Don't allow pictures of American dead and wounded".

You're a sucker. You've been sold a bill of goods by an administration that isn't even in Washington anymore, and you're still listening to what they have to say.

Which actions are you speaking of?

Be specific so I can address them one by one. Otherwise, you're just another random poster on the internet who believes he can assign a position to me that makes him comfortable.

A decent JnD thread?

Pretty soon airplanes are going to start crashing from pig strikes.
