Collateral damage and collective responsibility.
The 2005 Pulitzer Prizes were announced today.
In a previous life, I wanted to be a journalist, so I follow these things.
I don't think highly of my local media. The local reportage feels lightweight and sensationalistic, and most national/world coverage is cobbled from wire services. Nevertheless, a shutterbug for the Chronicle, Deanne Fitzmaurice, won the prize for Best Feature Photography.
After taking a look at her winning entry, I need to say two things.
1. If her images don't move you, call the police immediately. Someone's stolen your soul.
2. The war in Iraq is criminal, and we all share responsibility for the death and maiming of countless children.
