Anonymous Pulitzer-winning photographer revealed

Razmi's photo

The above photo, depicting the 1979 execution of twelve Kurdish men in Iran, won the only Pulitzer prize ever given to an anonymous author. It became a symbol of the tyrannical Iranian regime which came into power after the overthrow of the Shah and since then, dozens of people have claimed credit. Today, the Wall Street Journal finally reveals Jahangir Razmi as the photographer and tells the full story behind the picture. (via kevin drum)

Is it just me, or do both the shooter and the shootee all the way on the right like particularly non-Iranian in both physical appearance and attire?

I don't know, that shooter looks like John Denver to me.

Yeah, it's you. Don't forget -- it was the 70's.

You dumbass!
Ofcourse the victims aren't Iranian, that's why they're being shot! as you can read from the text under the photo, they are KURDS!

How stupid can people get?
