This would be the left-wing equivalent of a (hypothetical) Rush Website replaying the decapitation of Berg over and over on the front page (no warning)...

but instead saying, "if images like this violent death of a civilian play such an admittedly formative role in the opinions of Americans such as Sullivan, no wonder they're not support of this war.  The liberal media are keeping it from you and I, El Rushbo, am presenting it to you in full."

You'd be disgusted and would cry foul.  Conservatives reading this blog are going to cry foul as well.

Conservatives crying foul (none / 0)

Let them. I'm not going to apologize for posting these photos. I became physically ill shifting through them to select these (there are much, much worse photos out there).

Obviously, presenting them in this fashion is a rhetorical move on my part, but considering how this extreme violence has gotten no play in the santized version of the media war, and considering how support for the war has pluimmeted when images only fraction as disturbing were presented, I feel my move is justified.
