Michael Yon's Blood Money

A while back, JM noticed that Michael Yon was selling copies of his photo depicting an American GI cradling an injured Iraqi girl. Yon reported that the child later expired.

He's still selling them, for $180 a pop.

Where does the money go? Yon doesn't say, but I assume it's funding his excursions.

Anyway, it seems a mite repulsive to be making money off that photo. Surely Yon's fans wouldn't be happy if an Iraqi journalist was found selling photos of dead Americans.
