I rarely comment anymore. But in this case I would just throw this out.
There is a very famous photo of a South Vietnamese officer blowing off the head of a Viet Cong fighter on a Saigon street. This is quite offensive to view but it is nonetheless one of the most important photos of the last 35 years. Would you want this famous picture to be pushed out of an article on Vietnam due to its terrible content?
Similarly, there is a ghastly photo of a naked young child running down a road with severe burns from napalm. A horrible picture, but one that should not be pushed aside.
The bodies of babies at My Lai are another example.
And finally, there are horrible photos of Dachau and Auschwitz that make this photo look like nothing.
The fact is that Al-Qaeda cut off this young mans head in a gruesome manner. It is sometimes more necessary to know a horrible truth for what it is than it is to protect our sensibilities.
