The feeling I got from MM's post and the picture is similar to the feel I have whenever I visit the Vietnamn memorial in DC. It's sad to see the name and face of those that died. It makes it more personal, they are no longer just a statistic. MM I believe is trying to remind people of that. My feelings on Moore are convoluted, for I do like and believe in some of the things he does, yet he does go a bit over the top.
the picture itself is a powerful statement. Since I don't know where the artist or artists got these photos from (from families or media or other) I can't say whether he crossed the line by using the likeness of these people despite the wishes of the families.
