As you know, I have some ambivalence. I also have a reply, <a href="http://shouldersofgiantmidgets.blogspot.com/2009/09/cost-of-war.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, that I hope explains some of those conflicted feelings. Thank you for this piece, and also for bringing all this to my attention. Kate, an excellent piece. As you know, I have some ambivalence.

A schoolmate committed suicide right before we were to graduate from college. Local paper the next day had a color picture of his half covered body lying along the bank of the river from which he was pulled, above the fold on the front page of the paper. Every time I walked past a paper box I cringed. The news media must realize that there are humans they are hurting when they oh so casually publish photos of the dead. I hope the bastards who made that decision rot in hell. Something like that is why I despite our local paper. A schoolmate committed suicide right before we were to graduate from college.
