Blogger view points - Iraq good news vs, Iraq humanitarian crisis

Blogger Takes On U.S. Military
Jan. 29, 2005


In a testament to the power of the Web, and to the power of political freedom, Internet viewers now have access to two very different images of war, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston. <snip>

Maj. Scott Bleichwehl says he believes there is too much focus on news that isn't so good in Iraq.

To combat this focus on negativity, he runs a Web site http://www.dvidshub.net/img_archives/ featuring images showing progress in Iraq. <snip>

Trevor Davis, a 26 year-old blogger, runs a Web site that features disturbing images that most Americans don't see on the evening news or in a newspaper.

Davis says he created crisispictures.org http://crisispictures.org/ because he doesn't feel Americans are getting the whole picture from Iraq. <snip>

Bleichwehl says there are no pictures of military or civilian causalities because "the point we were trying to make is that Fallujah is no longer a safe haven for these terrorists."

Viewers can look at both and decide for themselves if one is more persuasive than the other.
