Why we're publishing the new Abu Ghraib photos

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

    Your Bias Is Showing

    I fully support Salon's decision to publish these photographs, but cannot help but wonder why you publish these images, which are far more incendiary in nature when you cower before Muslim public opinion over the issue of the Danish cartoons.

    Publish both. Do a story on how images can shape international affairs and include the truly disturbing cartoons published in the Middle Eastern press if you can. Nothing destroys mold and other fungus like sunlight, but we need to expose all of it, not merely that which embarasses GWB.
