Facebook Censors Famous War Photo of Phan Thi Kim Phuc Covered in Napalm

That someone can be suspended for such a post- an important picture that shows the dangers of US imperialism and the horror of war (appropriately titled "The Terror of War")- shows the ugly, disgusting side of Facebook's rulers.

Probably the best quotes about the debacle I've heard are from Tom Wilson:

and
