Cowardly Media

The corporate media has been so far towing the Pentagon line as far as the Iraq invasion goes. It’s very bland, very upbeat about the ‘coalition forces’ or as some have called them the ‘coalition of the whining’. Yellowtimes.org has had the POW photos on their site censored by their hosting provider. I will try to put those photos here myself. Geneva convention or not I do not see the threat provided by additional information, which is what photos are. I felt this way about the Daniel Pearl execution video and I feel this way about any photos of war. They can only serve to make people think twice about using violence. Peace is a necessity, not only an ideal.

  1. Could I please be notified when you do get those pictures on your site?

  2. Sure, it should be this evening when I get home.
