Salon is bad because they haven't published a Danish cartoon that nobody needs to see in order to understand the violence that some incited because of it, but they're also bad for publishing photos of torture that everybody needs to see in order to understand what's being done in our names?
Anybody who has paid any attention to the news in the past couple of weeks could draw that cartoon from memory based purely on having heard or read it described time and time and time again. We get it. We know what it looks like. If we really want to see it, we can find it on the Internet.
Where else are you going to find these torture photos? What words could possibly adequately describe what they depict? And these are nothing compared to what we still haven't seen.
Some of the comments here have helped me to understand the desire of some people to not know the truth, because I'd almost rather not know that any rational Americans could possibly think this way.
