the AP’s Pulitzer

I’m glad that Wizbang and Rathergate are talking sense about the AP’s Pulitzer-prize winning photo.

Paul writes, “I hate to call out my fellow conservative bloggers, but this is just silly … If the photog was more worried about his safety than the picture, he would have been home on his couch. War photogs ain’t like most people, when they hear shooting they run towards it.”

There was also a very comprehensive rebuttal to the various conspiracy charges here:

I just spoke with a news photographer on our staff … [and j]udging by the perspective and clarity on the image above, he estimates that the photographer in Baghdad was using a 300-millimeter lens from about a block away. “From a very safe distance,” he said.

Let me repeat that: From a city block away. This is part of why you think the AP might have done something wrong?
