What a joke. That picture is awful...how in the world did it win an award? There is nothing in that image that deserves an award. These people who judge these contests are SICK - very sad - pathetic

I think perhaps it won an award specifically because it's not an easy issue to think about. Another photo that stuck out in my mind is of the VC being shot in the head, or the napalm girl. Those are ghastly images, but very powerful. This is the same thing. I think Sept. 11th should be a category to itself--to much there for just one award.

This is a biased political agenda plain and simple.

If in fact this is true, i.e. not staged, then the photo should be used to identify this mass of thugs and to bring criminal charges against them. As well, the photographer for sitting idly by snapping photos, his action was no less vile. His photo-groping won him an award?
