Eddie Adams, the photographer took the famous photo of a South Vietnam's police chief, Lt. Col. Nguyen Ngoc Loan, executing a Viet Cong captive, is dead. He was 71. He died of complications from Lou Gehrig's disease. Adams has always had problems with his famous photograph, the story it told and the impact it had. He had always considered Loan a hero -- Loan had executed a Viet Cong who had just killed the entire family of a close friend. This all took place on the second day of the Viet Cong's Tet offensive. It was a war zone.
