Conservative bloggers with too little to gripe about are actually bashing the Pulitzer Board for honoring the AP's photo coverage of the Iraq War. Some have whined that none of the winning photos showed U.S. forces in a "heroic light."

Setting aside the fact that this year's Pulitzer judges include representatives from conservative newspapers such as The Washington Times, these bloggers seem to come from the Jeff Gannon School of Journalism, where your point of view is all that matters. Don't confuse them with the facts; they're not interested.

I'm sure these are some of the same folks who complained that the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. was not "heroic" enough, and successfully lobbied for the unnecessary Iwo Jima-style sculpture that stands clumsily next to the Wall -- one of the most timeless, powerful monuments ever created.

War is hell, folks. Don't expect the pictures to be pretty.
