Actually, what I am trying to say is that the pics should have been behind a link on the homepage. Apparently they are so I guess I have nothing more to say. Except in my ranch dressing thread in IMHO. ---

I just went to [foxnews.com](http://foxnews.com). There aren’t any photos of them on the homepage, and they IS a link to them, so you can decide to see them or not. So, what the fuck are you bitching about?? ---

Those pictures have zero shock and/or awe value. I am not too sorry about the killing of those two but I am very upset about the death of a fourteen year old boy. I know that he fired on US troops, or so the story goes, but damnit all, deliberately killing a fourteen year old kid is over the line in my book. I have to admit that I don’t have a clue as to what those on the spot should have done, though. It’s just that the older I get, the more firmly I believe that ALL children should have their time—it seems to me that the death of children is the biggest wrong of any war. ---

Or at least make a logical leap. The pictures really didn’t disgust me, in terms of bloodiness or goriness or whatever. I just don’t know why we _need_ to see stuff like this. When I heard on the news that they had been confirmed dead, I believed it–I didn’t need the pictures as proof. To me, the display of the pictures is boastful and unnecessary. ---

I gotta say, I’m surprised that there has only been one person in this thread to point out the hypocrisy of the contrasting reactions to al-Jazeera’s publication of gruesome war-trophy propaganda pics with the “so-what” attitude that American network news’ publication of the same sort of thing seems to engender. ---

Perhaps there are lands other than America — lands where people do not merely trust news that their Rapist in Chief is dead. They want pictures. ---

I’ve seen much, much worse. [Rotten.com](http://Rotten.com), for instance. In fact, those photos are currently the headliners on [rotten.com](http://rotten.com). But even they have a homepage composed entirely of links; nothing jumps out at you without your making the choice to click a link. I’m not sorry that they were posted at all, mind. This is news; this is what is happening. The problem with putting them on the front page of a site is simply that a lot of people, myself included, hit a news site first or second thing in the morning ([CNN.com](http://CNN.com) is my homepage), subconsciously expecting to see a bland photo, like Bush getting out of Air Force One, or the site of a fire, well after the fire had been put out. Seeing U and Q on a homepage would have been jarring, to say the least, not necessarily because of the content, but because **they are fucking dead bodies**!! Now, the instant I saw that link, I was on it like a Teamster on a doughnut. Knowing, of course, what I was letting myself in for. Again I say, to me it was not much, but then I’m Gen-X. My mom, on the other hand, if she saw those pics with no warning beforehand, probably went right back to bed. Hmm…I should call her… ---

Why would anyone surf [foxnews.com](http://foxnews.com) in the first place? I didn’t even know they had a website. Is is hosted on AOL Hometown? ---
