Just Pathetic

"The two lead photographs (in the dead tree version [of the New York Times]) for the "Nation at War" section, are a marine seemingly wounded (although he looks unscathed) by a land mine and an Iraqi child also wounded in the head. Neither is a fatality. I'm not saying these pictures don't belong in the paper. I'm saying that on a day of extraordinary military advances, their placement tells you a lot. And it will get a lot worse before too long."

It is already worse, Sully. For the Marines and for the Iraqi children. In case you're interested.
