This is so incredibly wrong. A page of today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is trying to make people feel sympathetic toward the insurgents. To prove it, I took a couple pictures:
Here's a large picture of the page. See the photo that says "A son mourned" above it? Looks pretty innocent, right? Well, there's more to it than meets the eye, as you'll see in the second shot...
Here's a closer view of the caption under the photo. In case you can't read it, it says:
A gravedigger prepares a grave as a mother of a militiaman loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr cries yesterday at a cemetery in the holy city of Najaf, south of Baghdad. The man was among 20 Iraqi militiamen killed by British troops Saturday during five hours of fierce fighting after a convoy was ambushed outside the southern Iraqi city of Amara.
Notice anything odd about that? Let me outline it for you: THEY'RE ACTING LIKE WE'RE THE F**KING ENEMY!!!!
Do you see this? They're not even "insurgents" anymore, they're "militiamen," and we're now required to keep track of how many are killed by the eeeeeevil occupying force.
Holy crap, media, why don't you just admit that you're playing for the other team?

Which to the rest of the world was the Viet Cong. But hey, in the happy liberal world, everybody's a good guy!
Next week- Hitler is exonerated because he was a one-nutted minority.
