NYT Complaint: Where are the Graphic Photos of Dead GIs?

Here's a typical line from a once-influential newspaper:

...after five years and more than 4,000 American combat deaths, searches and interviews turned up fewer than a half-dozen graphic photographs of dead American soldiers.

A very bad photo-to-kill ratio. How disappointing. Necrophiliacs of the world unite!

(By the way, before sending complaints about the prurient word choice, please note the the connotation intended by the above word is "pathological attraction to dead bodies; pathological fascination with death.")

Perhaps the bated breath for Republican stormy petrels could explain the 82% decline in New York Times profit? Even the AP has been forced to admit the reality that has been largely ignored in the mainstream media of late:

US now winning Iraq war that seemed lost
