the "no-no" is the taking (and later publishing) of the photos in the media. I've been reading everyone's comments about the photos and wonder if attitudes on this aren't contrived by the media. For the life of me, I can't find anything wrong with taking or publishing photos of that fkn maniacal mass murderer in captivity. The only thing I didn't like about the photos is that he wasn't tied to a pole and leaking.

kumar, Does anyone know who took the photo?? I don't think so. It could have been a journalist that sold it to be printed just for spite against the US. It could have been a "friendly" Iraqi that had a grudge against Sadaam. It could have been taken from a frame of a security video camera, and how can anyone know all of the people that had access to the tapes? The read blame, and the anger caused by the photo, is on the shoulders of the media that printed it, and distributed it. Sometimes, people are too quick to jump down the throats of our military personnel without looking at all of the possibilities.
