Notwithstanding that however, i wonder if it would have raised the same objections if it was a picture of a child half blown up by allied bombings in Iraq, or a half dying child from the starving countries of Africa.
All the same though, where children are concerned, a bit more tact is required and I think even Sotos must realise that now. he is usually a very rational chap and this was an extreme for him IMHO
Sad
Too many graphics are given out on the tv and the likes (many of which will stay in my mind's eye till the day I die) I honestly do not think that gruesome pictures are needed - words should suffice - they can if necessary 'paint the picture' to the reader
