Ann Coulter has an opinion on this, as well.

HOLD ON. This one is about the copyright holder of the photo of the firemen, sorry. I guess I didn't hear the story correctly.

The photo has been likened to the famous 1945 Associated Press photograph of six American fighting men raising the flag at Iwo Jima.

"We were quite shocked that the image was altered," said Jennifer Borg, attorney for North Jersey Media Group, which publishes The Record and holds the copyright. The Fire Department sought rights to reproduce the photo, she said, but the company did not sign any agreement.

Dear Thomas: Regarding the FDNY photo, since all of our Presidents have been white what do you think of us maybe painting a proportion of their faces BLACK, BROWN and a RED tone or two, just to be POLITICALLY CORRECT.?? Seems like thats what we oughtta do. jdn
