Wonder how long til the NYT just goes under?

Gigantic 8-foot US soldier points gun directly at head of a midget middle-eastern prisoner, and gestures an insult about his shortness, in one of many midget prison camps in the area. Amnesty International is investigating.

A shameful episode in American history.

[depressed in 06]

Look, as long as you're going to lie about what's going on in a picture, you might as well lie whole-hog about it. The US media has, in fact, already represented pictures of UK soldiers as US soldiers.

[Wristpin]

So what does one do about this? Complain to the Ombudsman at the Times?

[coloradan]

See my previous post. Maybe the caption should be "Gigantic 8-foot US soldier points missile launcher directly at ..."
