Man, whose sensibility didn't that offend?  I hope you aren't serious about that comment being worth 2c.

When judging war photos, I use the mom test: would I give this photo to my
mother to hang on her wall? If it's got burt dead bodies or any other sort
of ugly horror in it, it has no place in a publication in this country, I'll
leave that to the snuff-shot sickos of the european media.

Just my .02
