Yeah, that's great, give'em a prize for that. Well I won't veiw them, that's for darn sure.

We must crush the left, every last one of the buggers, under the heel of our boots. It's going to take 100 years at least, how long did it take the destroyers to get where they are today?

Their selection of pictures make it appear as if they want to portray America negatively.Michelle Malkin wrote an article about them that summed it up pretty good.

Geez, the bias is about as subtle as an RPG. Every photo could be captioned either "U.S. bad", "Insurgents brave", or "Iraq in Chaos".

This pretty well demonstrates why some of us refer to them as "Putzpuller Prizes."

I'm so sick of the Left's constant fawning over the Islamofascists and other assorted evildoers and providing them free global propaganda.
God knows how many have died because of their behavior. They won't ever be prosecuted, but what they do is a crime. It'd be different if they used the photographs to point out the barbarity and evil of their subjects, but time and again the captions prove that wrong.

The incident marked increased violence by insurgents

Yeah, that's what that was, an "incident".

My Dad (a conservative Democrat in the mold of Zell Miller) used to call the AP "those Asinine Propagandists".

He said even during WWII they ran down the American War Effort.

I learned and I have remembered it.The AP today is a Leftist mouthpiece just as it was then.

The first 10 were just anti-American/war crap. Not worth an article, not worth looking at the next 10.

Yes. Imagine the wonderful photos of smiling children sitting in a class room, or women being trained for employment, or fresh running water bringing joy to the many that they could have taken. Instead, they choose to photograph death as usual, and they see it as "beautiful" works of art.

Yea, that's next year, but I'm sure it'll be right up on their list with this one of a Marine in Fallujah II:

"We must crush the left, every last one of the buggers, under the heel of our boots."

What? Wouldn't it be better just to be stronger in the right? "Crushing" is very totalitarian.

I did like this one, though:
