I'm sick to my stomach right now!

Has anyone else seen the cover of todays NY Times? For those of you who have not, I will not even look for the pic to post. It's of two burned bodies of Americans hanging from a bridge over the Euphrates River with those *&$^* Iraqui monsters cheering!!

I understand the whole freedom of press crap, but how could they print that horrific picture? It's so sad and disgusting! Those poor families are suffering enough, but to have to see a picture of their loved ones' charred remains on the cover of a newspaper? What hapened to common decency and respect? I am so angry and disgusted right now!

because people need to see what is REALLY happening over there.. to make sure that it never happens again, to make sure that those men didn't die in vain.. Americans need to know.

They also print those pictures to sell papers, and to keep people scared.

Yep, it's all for publicity. It is like the day after the WTC disaster, one front page of a newspaper showed a body falling from a building. Nice, huh?

I thought of that instantly when I saw this picture. It's terrible.
