Rich is exactly right in his response to Erik and explains the situation very clearly, IMHO. So let's accept that collectively we *will* be making a choice among POV's, and let's follow Jimbo's excellent advice about how to do so and how to apply the decision that we make.
Thanks, Brian (Bcorr)

This is not a choice between POV and NPOV. It is a choice between different POV's. You want all images left on the article page unless the group that wants a particular image left there is so small as to be almost noise level. I would have all images left on the article page unless the group that wants a particular image left there falls below 70%.
Either way the image is placed -- on the article page or masked -- is still POV. In your case it reflects the POV of as little as 10% of those who vote. Would we really want the image of the militants holding Nick Berg's severed head to be plainly on the article if only 10% want it to be there?
