News footage might have caught a glimpse of iraqis surrendering or dead, but they didn't focus on it or jam microphones in the faces of the iraqi pows.

It's really a shame that the perps in this case can't detect the obvious relationship of such sites to the freedoms of expression and the press that the (classic form of) 'hacker' community allegedly holds so dear.

I too felt a brief surge of satisfaction (yes I'm also offended by pix of dead sol...
