I actually think that link is referring to a piece by Mike Yon. Check it out here:

Fred - looks like Michael Yon is the photog. I also saw that Mustang23 posted this photo which credits AP/USArmy. Yahoo shows the photo giving credit to AP. Wonder how that all sorts out for Michael Yon?

Thanks for keeping me straight Fred.
I've seen that picture credited to AP and to an Army photog now - but it sure looks like Yon got it first. The NY Post built a story around it.
It's one of those images that's going to be everywhere real soon.

O.K. GH, Warn me when I am going to view a photo like that. Key word, "Kleenex".Why have I not seen that photo on TV? I watch a lot of news but must have missed that story. Hope it is being broadcast in Iraq.

Greyhawk,
I checked with Mike to confirm. He says he's the one who took the photo. I say we start a campaign to get him a pulitzer. His writing is excellent, too. Seriously, we ought to figure out a way to reward the journalists who're doing it right, instead of just complaining about the ones who get it wrong.
