    Salon Editor on NPR

    Salon,

    I heard NPR's interview with your editor on my way to work this morning. It appears to be a self serving excuse for dredging up an old news story. The only possible reason I can see is that Salon and the Australian source is looking to incite further violence against our troops in Iraq. If you look at the way an ill-informed, under educated Islamic "man in the street" has reacted to cartoons depicting Mohammed can you defend rehashing the Abu Graib photos as responsible journalism?

    Your pious little group can rest easy in your beds tonight knowing that the brave men and women of the U. S. military are protecting even you. Oh, by the way, when one of these brave men and women are killed by a homicide bomber after looking at your rehash of old news, wring your bloody hands for them.

    Daniel O. White
