How many butchered here, never got to hold their children again because of the actions of this animal and his friends... and his son... with the defense and support of Leftists like, Mr. Bouju.

I completely agree with your assessment! My main problem with the photo is the fuzzy barbed wire going through the middle of the picture. I would have gotten an 'F' in photojournalism class if I would have brought this to my professor......

That is a sad picture. I feel sorry for that boy, and for the man, as a father. However, I dont know what he is being held for, so I dont neccessarily feel sorry for the guy in general.Unlikely he's being held for anything since I doubt his son we be arrested also...Probably on the ouside looking in at some of his terrorist relatives...

well, I happen to think it is. It shows several key things.
1: the horror of war, dividing families and such.
2: the compassion of the US, allowing this man to care for his child, despite his POW status.
The velvet glove of the US military, seems to be a pretty darn good story for 2003, don't you think?
To: dangus
Actually, what's amazing about it is that it is a strikingly bad photo. Ditto.

The men have to have their heads covered when there are photographers there according to the Geneva Convention.My guess is that the photographer and the selection committee would prefer that the viewers of the photo be ignorant of this little fact.
To: Helms
It's not a great picture. It's an interesting picture, most certainly. If the date is 3/31/03, that means we were still right in the middle of a march to Baghdad (about a week and half along in the war). It would be the height of dishonesty to say the picture evokes images of American brutality; it clearly demonstrates the opposite. In the middle of a shooting war in which our enemies could blend with our allies, we still allowed detainees the dignity of remaining with their families.

Why not the picture of the Palestinian child with a bomb around his waist...why not that one?

The photo is touching because the knight appears to have grown all his limbs back.

That was better than the picture. 10,000 for you!
To: Dead Dog
That happened in 2001. Why would it be entered in a contest for 2003 photos?

Liberals rewarding liberals? I'm shocked.
Wait until you see who wins all the Academy Awards. You heard it here first . . . the Hollyweird whores want to prove they're the only enlightened species in the Northern Hemisphere so Sean Penn and all the other blame-America-first-second-and-always'ers will win. It'll have nothing to do with their performances. Hell, Sean Penn's acting abilities haven't changed since Fast Times at Ridgemont High . . . only his voice. He's still a punk . . . just a wealthier one now.
But they'll fawn all over him like he's Sir Sean Poitier.

The discomfort of that picture, transcends it's graphic content. One should always remember the first victims of communism and liberalism. When your holding yours tonight, remember this picture, the and the horrors that can be avoided by not letting the likes of Kerry anywhere near leadership again.
Keep the picture.

How do we know this is not another phony, staged photo-op like this one:

Photographers take pictures of a Palestinian woman as she cries next to the 8-meter-tall wall part of the barrier Israel is building to separate the outskirts of Jerusalem from the West Bank in the village of Abu Dis Saturday Feb. 7, 2004. Around a thousand Israeli and Palestinians rallied against the controversial security barrier that is meant, according to Israel, to keep suicide bombers out. Others condemn the barrier, which dips deep into the West Bank in some areas, as a land grab. (AP Photo/Enric Marti) |
