Would you post this photo: an ethics discussion

The photo of McCain is awful. He looks like a zombie. The discussion about the picture includes the photographer's story of how he shot the photo and the subsequent editing process. The comments are fairly interesting too. This is an area of ethics that bloggers and citizen journalists need to think about, whether they anticipate it or not. You can see the photo by going to the reuters link.
