Many visitors to this site have made it known either directly or by the content of their web searches that they wish to view the photos of the American POW’s. I have viewed them. I don’t flinch from depictions of violence. It only strengthens my pacifism and my opposition to tyranny, whether in Iraq or in the United States. These are the results of state power and the competition among states. These photos are graphic and if you do not wish to view them you do not have to. The decision, as it should be, is entirely up to you.
- Drudgereport.com has these video stills of the American POWs. However, they decline to post video feeds.
- This webpage has images of the two pilots of the Apache helicopters brought down.
- Very graphic images of Iraqi casualties
- Graphic: Iraq provides first proof of US captured and dead
The worst, most chilling part of this is…none of these people had to die. These engineers who were captured. None of them wanted this. I went out to karaoke with some friends and met some cool guys from Ft. Hood, mechanics actually. They did not want to go to Iraq. One of them had orders to leave for Iraq and he most certainly did not want to go and fight there. This whole thing is a real shame.
I think its incredibly lame that most US media is taking it upon itself to censor itself. Its kind of funny how in a time where we are gruesomely killing tons of innocent civilians, we can still claim the moral upper hand by refusing to look at images of their corpses. after all, we’re not savages.
