An e-mail from Salon;
Dear former Salon Premium member,
Three weeks ago, Salon released 18 photos from Abu Ghraib prison that had never been publicly available, along with documentation of the Army's own investigation into the disturbing images. Reaction was swift and strong; some accused us of undermining American interests, while others took us to task for not publishing every image in our possession. Most feedback praised our decision to highlight a scandal that's been largely underreported by the mainstream media.
We're planning to release hundreds more photos taken inside Abu Ghraib. Using information found in a U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) report and other sources, our news team is cataloging each image so we may provide captions that offer critical context. Our goal is to publish newsworthy pictures that haven't been widely seen before, providing the best information that the CID investigation materials could offer.
I'm contacting you and other former Salon Premium members to make sure these photos reach a large audience. Your expired Premium membership supported our ongoing mission to speak truth to power, but we need your help again now.
I'd like to urge you to renew your Premium membership now through this link to give us the support we need to continue this important work:

As we create an Abu Ghraib archive, we will aim to shed light on what the administration has determined to keep dark. In giving the American electorate the information it needs, we'll try to provide some of the transparency our government has so sorely lacked.
We'll do our job with integrity and diligence. That, of course, takes time. So thanks for your patience, your trust, and your support.
Sincerely,
Joan Walsh Editor in chief, Salon

the liberal media..a terrorists best friend..
I'll join Salon just as soon as they also publish all of the mohammed (small m) cartoons..(yawn)
She actually says they'll do their "job with integrity".
She also has the balls to say the media hasn't paid enough attention to Abu Ghraib...wasn't it something like 50 days in a row NY Times had Abu Ghraib on the front page?
To quote Jon Stewart . . . I don't really have a joke here.
Right. I'll subscribe to Salon when do the follwoing stories:
UN Peacekeepers rape young girls in the Congo.
Iran court sentences woman to hanging for the outrageous crime of being raped.
Theo Van Gogh murdered by Islamic extremist for making a film about the brutality in whcih Muslim men treat women.
largely underreported by the mainstream media.
that IS the joke..
Yea verily!
Concur.
Doofus is as Doofus does.
I've got nipples, Salon. Can you milk me?
Those folks at Salon sure do like their prison pictures. I'd suggest "W" take action now to give them an opportunity to build personal portfolios.
