Usually referred to as collateral damage are those who didn't sign up as military. They far outnumber the ones who serve in our armed forces. Recently the toll has risen among journalists and photographers.
Today is a video of pictures taken by Chris Hondros, killed in Misurata, Libya while taking pictures for Getty.
We will mourn the daring of this man and others to tryh to make us aware of what is happening in the world. Click here. One has to ask if it was worth his life for us to see these pictures. I would rather have him alive and not feel amidst the grim rebellion and Ghaddafi's counter.

We also lost another photojournalist in the Misrata attack: Tim Hetherington, co-directory of "Restrepo", an award winning documentary about a platoon of American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. See
