Editorializing With Photos

The photo of a Palestinian child walking amidst rubble accompanying Glenn Frankel's article today on Sharon's plan to present his revised Gaza withdrawal plan to the cabinet doesn't match the subject of the article itself. (Sharon Tests New Plan for Gaza, Proposed Four-Stage Withdrawal Meets Cabinet Opposition, 5-28-04 A14)

Palestinian children and rubble ... put sympathetic photo" ... or whether it's a more malicious effort to inject the editor's opinion and sway reader's views by editorializing with photos. There really is no relationship between the photo and the subject of the article, because Israeli military action in Gaza to destroy terrorist weapons smuggling tunnels is designed to reduce terrorism throughout Israel, and is not related to the settlements that Sharon is planning to withdraw from Gaza.
