Yup. Sometimes war isn't a pretty thing. I don't get the defeatist bias in this collection, though.

Those are powerful images showing people what kind of sacrifice the troops are making. The pics of the bodies hanging from the bridge are among the most poignant of the lot, showing what sort of monstrous things the enemy was capable of. And all the more meaningful considering the recent change of direction from bad to good in Iraq since the elections.

Right. So, which were your favorites according to your "realistic" tastes, the tiny child in the coffin who was murdered by the Americans, or the election worker being murdered in the street for the sole purpose of having the Arab AP stringer take a picture of his murder to broadcast to the world?

I understand it's a hard choice. War is ugly, after all.
