Michael Moore Steals a Photo

Michael Yon literally risks his life to take photos in Iraq and tell the story of Iraq in a way that the mainstream media can't or won't.

So its pretty egregious that Michael Moore would filch a Yon photo to use on his website for propaganda that accuses American soldiers of atrocities.

When someone’s grandmother disseminates the photo of Major Beiger cradling a dying girl in his arms, I allow the usage because I feel she is trying to share the human tragedy. When Michael Moore puts that same photo on his web site, alongside images of George Bush, John McCain and Hillary Clinton, the clear implication is that Farah’s death is their fault. That is a misrepresentation of the facts on the ground, as well as the story of the photo. Farah was killed by a suicide car bomb in Mosul on May 2, 2005. Major Bieger and other soldiers literally risked their own lives to save many children and adults that day, but Farah didn’t make it. Michael Moore apparently does not understand – or refuses to acknowledge – the moral distinction between a man who would murder innocent people, and a man who would sacrifice himself to save them. The photo, as I took it, is the truth, but Moore uses it – illegally – to convey falsehoods. His mind is that of a political propagandist who sees Farah’s death not as a human tragedy, but a tool.

The left likes to pretend that they are moral paragons, but we always seem to catch them red-handed doing dirty deeds dirt cheap.
