To the Editor,
I applaud Salon's editors for having the courage to publish new photographs from the truly horrible place called Abu Ghraib. However I am very disappointed that you haven't taken this opportunity to put all of the material online for the world to finally see. I'm tired of only getting part of the story; a small photograph, a single page from a report. I don't want a description of a video. I want to see the video. I deserve to see this material. We all do.
The Bush administration has brought government secrecy to alarming and unprecedented levels as they have brought shame and dishonor to our our nation. "Democracy dies behind closed doors" and our democracy is, indeed, expiring right before our eyes. The only way to stop this ever-accelerating slide into a police state is to open the doors. Unleash the truth.
Let the sunshine in.
I urge you to publish the entire report including all the videos and every single disgusting photo - at full size. No blacked-out faces. No redacted phrases. No tiny pictures. Do your job as journalists and trust that we, your subscribers, are adult enough to look at all this material and reach our own conclusions.
Thank you.
Very Truly Yours,
Todd Wilkinson
New York City
