Why we're publishing the new Abu Ghraib photos

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

    Social Justice and Equality for everyone - the Founding Fathers wanted this

    When I heard on link TV that the new Abu Graib pictures were published at Salon.com, I decided to support Salon.com by becoming a premium member and I am even more impressed that the truth is out here. Never got this from the local media.

    I wonder if the Danish and other newspapers who promptly published the inflammatory cartoons had the same "freedom of expression" arguments and actually published the Abu Graib atrocities which were real photos and videos and not drawn cartoons or what was in someone's head?

    Are we civilized? I am ashamed that we have a government that would condone this kind of behavior - Guantanamo is still open...shiver!
