I think you’ll agree once you see these photos, taken by AP and Reuters photographer Bilal Hussein.
Warning - the photos are stomach turning, so if you’ve just had a late breakfast, you might want to wait a while before viewing.

Why am I not surprised at the anti-american, partisan nature of a so-called reporter? I’ve seen the video where an insurgent carrying a RPG didn’t get the message with a near miss. The next bullet sent him to see Allah personally.

I think we should secretly install beacons in all commercial video equipment.

I agree. Very crummy and someone should hold AP’s feet to the fire. We allow too much anti-Americanism in our coverage overseas. Remember the lieutenant colonel in Ho Chi Minh’s army who was a stringer for Time?

I’m not sure what your point is. A photographer took pictures in a war zone. I missed the “stomach turning” ones. All that was there were a bunch of masked guys with guns.

Whats to do about “too chummy.”? Suppress this kind of information? I mean, we wouldn’t wnat people to know that our enemies like to pose.
