Story found at Drudgereport.com

Do you think it is in bad taste during these troubled times?

I do, even if I don't like the guy.

It depends on the story that accompanied the photo. Do you have access to what the story was?

Garrett, here's the story:

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU FEB 19, 2004 09:25:45 ET XXXXX

REUTERS 'SNIPER' SNAP OF KERRY RAISES EYEBROWS

A photo moved on the REUTERS international wire of presidential candidate John Kerry appears to put the Democrat frontrunner in the bull's-eye of a sniper's aim!

The controversial snap from the British-based wire immediately raised alarm in newsrooms.

"At the very least, [the photo] is in extraordinarily bad taste at a time of so many terrorist threats," one top newspaper editor said from Washington. "In my mind this is just unconscionable... we would never publish anything like this."

An official from REUTERS claims the photo is actually candidate Kerry as seen through "a television camera."

The wire explains Kerry was being interviewed by a local television station in Madison, Wisconsin when photographer John Gress captured the image.

"In no way is this photograph meant to convey any threat to Mr. Kerry," a REUTERS official explained.

Developing...

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Opinions my own.

I think any picture that has a target on a subject is in poor taste in this day and age.

I can't see the picture, but I'm reading the url right now.

I'd take that one as an exception, of course!!
