Why we're publishing the new Abu Ghraib photos

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

    Why we're publishing the new Abu Ghraib photos - and not the cartoons.

    I haven't even read the article yet - just read the headline.

    Over a week ago, the cartoon issue was all over Europe, and logging in onto Salon I get greeted with "What I like to watch." Somewhere down the page, shamefully hidden, some article, published by the German "Spiegel." And even more hidden, a link to the cartoons.

    Now I get this prominently featured headline, and it does not read "Why we are publishing the cartoons." Had the cartoon issue been featured similar prominently, and the pictures honestly shown, I would find Salon's stance more believable. This way it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
