American losses: The U.S. press has published few photos of Americans killed or wounded in the war in Iraq. Newspapers that ran this photo of mortally wounded Army Spc. Travis Babbitt, 24, got complaints from readers. This photograph is one in a portfolio of twenty taken by eleven different Associated Press photographers throughout 2004 in Iraq. The Associated Press won a Pulitzer prize in breaking news photography, Monday April 4, 2005 for the series of pictures of bloody combat in Iraq. The award was the AP’s 48th Pulitzer.
