These are the things that raise my blood pressure ...

The American Legion is not amused ..... neither am I.

Ed at HotAir has this post about the Associated Press' running a photo of a dying Marine. The post has links that I recommend you follow.

Ace of Spades has a link about this as well, and I think the comments are spot-on.

For ADHD sufferers, an AP embedded reporter took a picture of Lance Corporal Joshua Bernard as he lay dying after being hit by a Taliban rocket-propelled grenade. After the body was returned to the states and buried, LCpl Bernard's father (twice) and the SecDef The Honorable Robert Gates requested that the picture not be published. They asked this of the piece-of-shit scum-sucking maggot president of the AP, Thomas Curley. The AP ran the photo anyway, and of course in their glee, Huffington Post (miserable creatures that they are) have had a field day.

I know there's not much that can be done, but the AP's contact information is here. I would ask that you all call the main # in New York, as well as your closest bureau office and voice your displeasure.
