Art over emotion?

Here is an article I found via Instapundit….
A Chilling Photograph’s Hidden History - WSJ.com

“Our play was fabulous,” exults Mr. DeSantis, now retired. “It was a once in a lifetime…. Like it was a movie set. One guy kneeling, aiming. One guy falling. A mass execution.”

Thos words somehow disturbed me. For a moment, there is more of a naked triumph of a score in the words - there is no horror at the situation - no condemnation of an atrocity - no judgment - no feeling….

Is it really that important to have done something unique when you are so focused on it that you have forgotten your human empathy?
