Iraq: Not a Civil War

* note to journos who may not have got the memo. it is ok to refer to the situation in East Timor as a civil war - 27 people have died there in a week!

as such, it is ok to run photos which show actual people, close-up, and action. lots of action.




iraq however is not in a civil war. Remember: "The Iraqi's looked into the abyss and did not like what they saw." Thusly, please continue to show anodyne photos of soldiers, preferably from a distance, when 40 people die in baghdad.

for example CBS


ABC

NYT

USAT


thank you.

that is all.
