Letter to the Irish Times:
http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/letters/2005/0507/index.html#1113002080082

Madam, - The photograph of the US officer holding a wounded Iraqi child is certainly emotionally provocative. While I am not suggesting that the picture is a fake, or that the child was neither wounded nor subsequently died, I am curious about the rationale behind publishing such a poignant image, given its source and the associated propaganda value.

The US army is cited as an associated source for the picture taken by former special forces soldier Michael Yon, who now describes himself as an author and who is currently "embedded" with the US Army Stryker Brigade in Iraq.

Even a fleeting glance at Mr Yon's blog website would demonstrate its propaganda value for the US army. - Yours, etc,

GEORGE SWEENEY, Derry City.
