    Pathetic self-indulgence by Salon

    Lame. Your moralizing self-justification for publishing these photos is pathetic; I'm willing to wager it's all about increasing your subscription base (I won't be renewing mine, by the way). Since you are such a courageous bunch, why don't you publish the Danish cartoons that have provoked violent outbreaks among Muslims, or is the world only entitled to see certain types of provocative graphics (i.e., those that embarass the United States). There's a reason conservatives so often refer to liberals as "hate America first-ers."
