It was clearly thoughtless on his part. I think this picture may be a big problem for Kerry if it is used the "right" way. By that I mean that it should be promoted as an example of Kerry being thoughtless.
However, I believe "desecration" should be left unsaid! To those who don't care, it would be dismissed as an "over the top" description. But to those who DO care, they would see desecration without it being said.
With any luck, the Dems will glom onto this picture and spread it themselves. If it were to be used in Time or NewsWeek it could cost Kerry some real votes.
If we raise the alarm, they will sit on it like they tried with the NASA photos.
Like maybe being shown on Drudge's site???
