Pulitzer Prize Photos

LGF links to Riding Sun, with their analysis of the Pulitzer prize winning photos:

This year, the prize went to the Associated Press staff for, as the Pulitzer organization's site says, "its stunning series of photographs of bloody year long combat inside Iraqi cities."I looked at the twenty photographs and broke them into groups on the basis of content. Here are my results:

• U.S. troops injured, dead, or mourning: 3 (2, 3, 11)

• Iraqi civilians harmed by the war: 7 (4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, 18)

• Insurgents looking determined or deadly: 3 (6, 15, 20)

• US troops looking overwhelmed or uncertain: 3 (7, 12, 14)

• US troops controlling Iraqi prisoners: 2 (16, 17)

• Iraqis celebrating attacks on US forces: 2 (1, 19)

Equally telling is what the photos don't show:

• US forces looking heroic: 0

• US forces helping Iraqi civilians: 0

• Iraqis expressing support for US forces: 0

• Iraqis expressing opposition to insurgents: 0

Here are some links to some excellent Iraq photos.
