It is not censorship. Exposing pictures of POW's for propaganda purposes is a violation of the Geneva Convention. If we condem Iraq and Ai-Jezera how is Drudge any different? Is "good" propaganda OK and bad propaganda not. Either way it is extremly bad taste.

Killing POWs is much more of a problem than showing pictures of their dead bodies after they are killed.

They killed these people, and we should be outraged about that. Not about the killings being made public.

Just to play devil's advocate for a moment... what is it that is so different from the dozens of pictures we see of surrendering Iraqi's? Is that not also propaganda?

Certainly the footage of the dead, and grinning camelhumpers posing them is way beyond the pale, but just asking.
