If by some unlikely chance you haven't already, make it a point to read Charles Johnson's masterful fisking of a book review by the ever-more-despicable John R. Bradley. The book is Michael B. Oren's "Six Days of War." This is Charles at his best and Bradley at his worst. A great match.

According to the New York Post, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has abruptly reversed its recent ban on photographing children carrying weapons. It seems that this ridiculous attempt to avoid bad PR brought them a whole lot of, um, really bad PR.
And the Post editorial sharpens the point: Although it's not hard to understand the urge to suppress such images. Under protests from foreign journalists, the union yesterday lifted its ban. Too late. The news is out.[W]hat really gets us is that line about "violating the rights of children." The ultimate abuse is encouraging children to pose as murderous warriors in the first place - not taking photos that expose such barbaric practices.
