[edit] Fair use rationale

"Irreplaceable". It is a picture taken around the time of the LINC, showing it and its designer in their original state. A picture taken today, even if possible, would show a much older Wesley Clark and would be anachronistic. Additionally, Wesley Clarke is unlikely to habitually pose with LINCs today.
