55. Better yet, how about a PICTURE of one of them?


This is Ron Haviv. He has covered wars from Bosnia to Afghanistan, and everywhere in between. He is a respected, award winning war photographer, and I rather doubt he would give it all up to support the Monkey's version of war. He was one of the FIRST photojournos to document the Serbian atrocities:

Oh, and a bit more info about the guy: http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/2001/feb/010222.haviv.html

Ron Haviv has spent a career photographing the way conflict devastates the lives of soldiers and civilians. Haviv has traveled the world, documenting everything from Colombia's drug wars to Kurds fleeing Iraq. His award-winning photographs have appeared in numerous international newspapers and magazines.

In 1991, Haviv headed to the Balkans. He was 27 and didn't know much about the region. Soon after he arrived, Haviv photographed a Serbian soldier kicking the head of a dying Muslim woman. He hoped the violent images would send a message to the world that the conflict demanded immediate intervention. His pictures reached a mass audience when they appeared on the pages of Newsweek, Time and Paris Match. Haviv was shocked to discover that there would be no response to the violence he had caught on film. A week later, shooting broke out in Sarajevo and the bloody conflict escalated.


Give me a break!!!!!!!! I trust Ron Haviv before I trust Massey, any day of the week...
