The Light Around The Bodies.

It is obscured, to say the least. This alarming, but not at all surprising, article in the Times tells us so. Hide the bodies. Hide the war. Feed the Beast.

Robert Bly from his 1966 book, The Light Around the Body:
COUNTING THE SMALL-BONED BODIES
Let’s count the bodies over again.
If we could only make the bodies smaller,
The size of skulls,
We could make a whole plain white with skulls in the moonlight!
If we could only make the bodies smaller,
Maybe we could get
A whole year’s kill in front of us on a desk!
If we could only make the bodies smaller,
We could fit
A body into a finger-ring, for a keepsake forever.

I'm a little bit freaked out. I just stumbled upon http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/ and had literally just seen that photo you led with only a minute before on Zoriah's blog.
I think you'll find BAGnews an insightful and valuable place for ideas around visual representation of this craziness.
In related news, I caught up on most of Metalocalypse yesterday. Where YOU at?
