M.Ted, that makes a lot of sense about Mr. Diaz, the AP photog. He did several interviews in the aftermath of the publication of the photo and was not at all shy about making his personal views very clear. Did he bother taking photos of the Gonzales family trashing their own home after the INS left (breaking the door in half, etc.)? If AP weren't making a mint off this photo and if they had any journalistic scruples, they would fire this man. I'm going to think twice in the future, whenever I see an AP photo.

The situation with the Haitian boat is horrific. I heard on the news that the survivors have already been packed up and sent back to Haiti.
