Perhaps the only reason to study history is to learn from the past. These pictures are an important reminder of what was done by American soldiers. Since there is no guarantee that this won't happen again it is important to publish these pictures. I am always amazed by this administration's willingness to resort to torture. We still hear of "enemy combatants" being force fed in Guantanamo Bay, of other "enemy combatants" being deported to countries that condone torture. We had the White House object to the McCain's bill against torture. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, to use an old cliche'. Thank you for this very important reminder -- sadly it is still timely and relevant, and will continue to be until the day that we shall all take a stand against torture instead of making escuses and simply say "no more."
