BAGHDAD — The case of a freelance photographer in Iraq who was barred from covering the Marines after he posted photos on the Internet of several of them dead has underscored what some journalists say is a growing effort by the American military to control graphic images from the war. Stupid allegation. Pretty much all the news out of Iraq today is good; the military would LOVE to have more of it covered. The reality is that the media, and in this case, a freelancer, only wants to cover the bad news. We've had enough media lies out of Iraq. The number of embedded reports has dropped to a quarter of the earlier number now that the news is all good anyway. The American military has NEVER sanctioned the reporting of our dead in an undignified way (such as the photo you posted). It is the kind of behavior you see in Pondscum Parsons. Precisely the same. The reporter should be jailed.
