Artist Tim O'Brien on His Time Magazine Cover

Not to go on about this (we're sure your other news outlets have it covered), but artist Tim O'Brien just posted a nice blog post about his cover for Time Magazine: "This may be one of the assignments that define what I did as an illustrator in my career."

O'Brien's account touches on the idea of a history-within-a-history; interesting stuff. He also includes this MSNBC video, in which Rick Stengel briefly discusses the cover and history of the imagery (just the first minute of the video).

I hope the White House does not release the death scene photo.
This is a much more appropriate image to define the moment.

How about generating some discussion about the government's use of the term "Geronimo" to identify the capture or killing of an enemy?
