The first photo was quite dramatic, but I think some of its shock value (for lack of a better word) was diluted by having seen the video footage of the same incident most of Sunday afternoon, including the poor kid and his father receiving a direct burst of automatic weapons fire ("caught in a crossfire," my ass!). The Gore picture didn't really impress me; I thought Gore had put on a lot of weight, until I noticed that he wasn't the guy taking the picture.
