Salon has accomplished absolutely nothing here.
First of all, don't flatter yourself to think that a significant amount of people view your website, especially people oversees. For the most part, you preach to your own choir.
I can absolutely guarantee that there will be no one whose viewpoint will change from these new photos. No one will be persuaded. People who thought that what happened at Abu Ghraib is a war crime, the most disgusting atrocity since the Holocaust (and there actually appear to be people who feel this way), will only strengthen their view as they "weep" while viewing them.
People who feel that the abuse was an overblown anomoly, or an uncomfortable but necessary act of interrogation and deterrance, will not change their minds.
But..thank you for not publishing the Danish cartoons. We wouldn't want to offend anyone!
Watching a 10 second crappy commercial is worth reading Heather's TV column. But to think that someone would pay to be a member of such an arrogant, predictable website? No thanks.
