The Ethics Daily website reports today (May 10, 2011) that an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspaper in Brooklyn, NY deleted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from a White House photograph of top officials monitoring the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
The Yiddish-language "Der Zeitung" removed Clinton and Audrey Tomason -- a top counter-terrorism adviser -- from the photo, which is quickly becoming an iconic image.
The photo shows the White House's Situation Room during last week's raid on bin Laden's Pakistani compound.
Ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspapers believe that photos of women should not appear for reasons of modesty -- both for men and women. Moreover, Ultra-Orthodox Jews do not own televisions, read only their communities' newspapers, and rarely surf the Internet.
