Oh man...I get their point, but this is BAD. I don't think they mean "we're glad us soldiers are dying." I think they mean that while the gubmint didnt want the coffin photos getting out, these pics are MUCH worse...the coffin photos are tame by comparison.

My take?

They/it is saying...

It's better (easier) to see dead American soldiers, than naked abused iraqi's (Who may have been responsible for killing Americans..)

Sick.

I can see that point as well. HOWEVER... the editorial boards of the Cincinatti Post and the Newsweak as well as PMSNBC, should exercise SOME degree of sensitivity towards those who have lost a loved one in this effort.

This was published KNOWING it would cut both ways and without respect for our war dead. The editors of the above need to hear from the public regarding this.
