GQ_jumper 4 #5 June 9, 2006 Why is it that people complain about photos of dead journalists, soldiers, and others, but don't have a problem showing photos of a dead terrorist? Quote uhh, how bout you switch that statement around bro, nobody complains when dead soldiers are shown on tv, cuz no one gives a shit about us, we're only soldiers, it's our job to die right, but shortly after zarqawi's picture was showing confirmation of his death people said we violated the geneva convention.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites livendive 8 #6 June 9, 2006 I'd rather we not see photos of any dead people. Death is not a cause for celebration or entertainment. It's unfortunate this guy put himself in a position that made his death warranted, but I don't think we need to flaunt our ability to kill. That particular skill set hasn't been in question for some time now. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I don't think they did it to gloat, since it's not the "Western way" to display pictures of corpses like that. I presume that, after debate, they decided that (just like with Q'usay & Uday Hussein) the only way to prove to skeptics that he is really dead was to show his picture. While I generally don't approve of that, in this case I think it's a reasonable exception.

Apparently, you have never looked at history of the Old West. They leaned their caskets against the wall, and stood proudly beside the corpse to have their picture taken. That was the real Western way. No PC there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Ragnarok 0 #13 June 9, 2006 If these people live, you have the chance of being kiled by them. Celebrate their death, because you have one less bad guy trying to kill you.
