So the Salon is "brave" enough to post three-year old Abu Ghraib photos, in furtherance of a story already has been as exhaustively reported as any this decade? Yet Ms. Walsh feels no journalistic obligation whatsoever to show its readers the allegedly offensive cartoons that are the subject of spreading riots all around the world TODAY, for which scores of people have died and continue to die? The journalistic cowardice of Salon and Ms. Walsh in particular knows no bounds. The real, unspoken difference here is that Ms. Walsh knows, in publishing these three year old photos, no one from the Bush Administration is going to fire bomb her garage. She obviously feels differently about publishingthe photos. But if Ms. Walsh is too frightened to properly do her job, than she should tender her resignation and let someone else do it for her. Shame on Salon.
