I'll keep this short so, here it is. While I am a Liberal by nature and yet, I feel like you published the photos in some self serving need to bash actions linked to the current Administration in some way. You didn't show the Muhammed Cartoons but you'll be happy as pie to show these photos. You could just throw up a new Article about the topic. Talk about how little was done about it. How the current Administration tried to sweep it under the table or it's desire not to sign any bill that denounced torture. And done this all without bringing up the photos. But instead, you had to show them off, Making a big deal about and old topic.
I don't like the current administration at all. I loath Bush and his lackies. I don't like what our troops may have done out there but, I don't think publishing the photos does anyone any good. Just adds new fire to the anti-Western sentiment. Which we really need to fight hard against. Yes it's all true what happened. We can't forget it. But we need to take care about what we show, how we talk about it, and who we point fingers at.
It doesn't take kid gloves, but it does require you stop with the sensationalism.
