Ummm... no.

Maggie says:
How inappropriate is it for us to display a framed photograph of a dead body at an Iraqi news conference? I don't care how macho and great and victorious it makes us to kill a "bad guy" (and never mind that I disagree with the premise of all of it). If there's a need to show proof of the big kill (gross), how about a small photograph? Or if the photo must be enlarged, couldn't a simple poster board suffice?

But trotted out in a gold frame as proof that the "tide is turning"? How is that any better than Iraqi abuse of American dead bodies? Don't both disrepect human life?
