Trackbacked at Michelle Malkin, Hot Air:
I saw this at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, but at first I passed right over it. I didn’t believe it at first.
But I followed the link and verified it. And it’s true.
What you’re seeing printed by the New York Times is a picture of a sniper loyal to Shiite cleric Moqtada al Sadr firing towards U.S. positions in the cemetery in Najaf, Iraq. This guy is trying his best to fire a bullet into the head of a US Marine or soldier in Iraq. He’s trying to kill the son or daughter of someone living in the US. He’s waiting to snuff out the life of a mother or father of US children. His desire is to kill a US citizen.
And this is what passes at the New York Times as quality journalism.
The photographer, Joao Silva, is standing right next to a terrorist, shooting at US soldiers, and all he can think is “Wow! Maybe I can get a Pulizter for this! I hope he opens the head of a US Marine like an overripe melon!”
Oh, and it gets better, too. The caption under the photo is: “Michele McNally: ‘Right there with the Mahdi army. Incredible courage.’”
Yep, courage to hide in a building and kill sons and daughters of the US. It’s almost as if the New York Times is celebrating the upcoming death of someone serving in the US military at the hands of an Islamic terrorist.
Just think: maybe you will have a loved one come home from Iraq in a body bag. Just before you bury them be sure and check out the latest edition of the New York Times to see if a picture of your loved one’s killer is on the front page, maybe even with the caption of “Incredible courage”.

You’re not really that stupid are you? The courage is shown by the photographer, to go in there. I don’t know if you actually read the news, but reporters ocassionally die going into war zones - go figure. If you’re trying to be clever, you’ve failed. If your complaint is that the photographer should jump into action and knock the terrorist over the head with his camera, you’ve watched to many action movies. The guy taking this picture is in no position to do anything. To suggest that he sympathizes with the enemy just for taking this picture is beyond ignorant.
