While I think these photos should be published, and the adminstration admonished and ultimately put out of power, I also think we need to take a practical approach towards the level of anger in the muslim world. I fear not for us westerners, but rather the person who gets crushed in mob in some muslim country. I'm not fan of rioting, or inciting mobs. Given the anger around the globe, I'm not sure we should be adding the fuel to fire. As Spiderman might say with great power comes great responsibility. And I for one am not sure Salon is acting in a responsible manner. Sometimes it's best to wait til things blow over a bit before acting. Sure the photo should be covered, and US policy diligently reviewed and criticized. It's question of picking a time and place to do so. I'm not sure this is the right time.
