Was the AP wrong for showing this horrifically injured, dying Marine?

Show the pictures. All of them all of the time.

Also of all traffic accidents and crime scenes.

Also of my murdered daughter, every day so that her killer may be apprehended and people won’t forget that there are horrible unsolved crimes committed by those poor criminals that get slaps on the wrist for the host heinous of crimes.

Agreed.

Should the press print pictures of highway crash victims, to show the cost of our society’s choices with regard to roads and the car industry?

I’m sure this is supposed to be a Gotcha, but yes, they should. Driving is a dumber option (for most) than is ever shown or acknowledged, and this is a reason why.
