Could someone please post the picture of Josh Sparling that was printed in Sunday's edition of the Washington Post (page A8).

Maybe I'm being over sensitive, but I believe the picture misrepresents Josh, and makes him appear to be part of the anti-war demonstration. I've voiced my opinion with three staff of the Post, and would like others to do the same.

Not sure if this is the image that ran in the COMpost, but here is one from Yahoo! NEWS photos:

I dont think youre being overly sensitive, infact the caption the AP put with pic is very unclear also.

Josh has more courage then I do. I couldn't speak. I would just want to start shooting. God Bless that man.
