Why we're publishing the new Abu Ghraib photos

America -- and the world -- has the right to know what was done in our name.

    Abu Ghraib photos

    Thank you for publishing the Abu Ghraib photos. They sicken me, but it is important that the activities of our troops and government be made public so we can begin to get a glimpse of what our country is really up to in this war on terror. So we should all look, and then look again, every one of us. We should look long and hard at what our government has allowed to happen in the name of freedom, liberty, democracy. What has become of great America? I just want to hang my head and cry.

    —Lora R. Wilke
