THE MARKUP

A Symbol of the Vilification   [Stephen Spruiell]

A certain picture is seeping into the culture and becoming symbolic of what happened at Haditha. Ironically, the picture shows a pile of Iraqi civilians who were murdered by insurgents. I think this picture should be symbolic of something else: the unfortunate tendency of so many in the media to lay all of the Iraqi dead at the feet of the U.S. military, regardless of who actually killed them.

UPDATE: Via NRO's new hot links feature, Tony Blankley's column today covers these same issues: "Media danse macabre."
