Lots of back stories to these the first Yousef Karsh snatched his cigar away from Churchill leading to the expression.

Likewise Eddie Adams photograph of the Saigon police chief shooting Nguyen Van Lem totally left out that Nguyen Van Lem was the leader of a Vietcong “revenge squad” that had murdered dozens of unarmed civilians earlier in the day.
That is not credibly substantiated as there were at the time and in the immediate aftermath of the photo being released and CBS footage airing on the news, and ensuing years that he was one of 3 men seen running from the scene after someone threw a hand grenade into a crowded sidewalk restaurant, or that he was responsible for the assassination of the police chiefs wife and children.
Interestingly, analysis of the photograph has also determined that the bullet had just passed through Lem's head and can be seen at the instant the photo was taken.
