Is this really necessary?

Okay, so they killed the al-Qaeda mastermind, al-Zaqawi, in Iraq today. That's lovely, I'm sure. But why must we be required to look at his dead face in a picture frame?

 

First of all, we have spent millions of dollars to kill this guy, sure we have...let's be honest. Now, the US government took it a step further and paid for a photograph of him and placed it into a wooden frame. That's pretty tacky. To me it's no different than when the terrorists (and not the US this time) behead someone and put it on a website. Of course, they are happy, but we don't need to see their gloating faces as we look at the image of a disgusting dead man. This isn't CSI.

 

To make it even more picture perfect, it is show with this soldier looking at the picture with an almost smirk on his face. What's he smirking at and what is the message the Pentagon (i.e., Bush) trying to send? That if you defy the US we will kill you, take a professional-grade photograph of your dead face, and then place it in a lovely wooden frame?

 

When will this all end?
