The photos are what they are. I don't think that they should be censored (a/la China and certain Muslim countries).

If the events occured, and someone caught them on film, they shouldn't be withheld because someone might be offended.

If they didn't do those things, there would be no pictures.

Putting your head in the sand doesn't mean that it didn't happen, and doesn't mean that the world should not see them. They should. And we should see theirs when it's captured on film. We did parade Saddam around in his underwear for the tabloids.

I'm with you. We'll both get flamed. I hope you have asbestos underwear on.

Yeah, and people should be able to yell fire in a crowded building. It's just a word. People have rights to say words. Consequences don't matter.

Furnishing fodder to terrorists doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever. Where do all of the nutcases come from.

It's amazing how many here are in favor of censorship. Good post.

Yes. What happened at Abu Grahib happened, and when (or if) these pictures are paraded forth, more will happen. The Islamo-fascist Jihadis will use them to fan hatred of America and more bombs will go off and more people will die if the pictures are released than if they are not released. Our difficult tasks in Iraq will be made more difficult.

The idiots who committed the Abu Grahib "atrocities" have already been punished. The half-wit looking Lyndie England just started serving her 3 year stretch.

As far as what happened to the Abu Grahib prisoners (many of whom were probably complicit in killing American soldiers) is no big deal as far as I'm concerned. In the Arab world, however, it is a real big deal. The only purposes motivating the ACLU and the Clinton-Judge are to (1) weaken America internationally, (2) aid the terrorists in Iraq, (2) give Splash-boy and Turbin more fodder for Senate speeches and (3) provide the NY Slimes with another 52 straight days of Front Page coverage of this "massive news event".

I say screw the ACLU, screw the judge, and for that matter, screw the jihadists who had to wear panties on their heads.

Nobody's head is in the sand, except yours!

The perps have been tried and are now all sitting in jail. This is an aberration and publishing the pictures can only inflame our enemies and cause needless deaths to our troops and others.

During WW I ans WW II, ALL articles and pictures were censored and rightly so. That you are incapable of comprehending any of this and cling to absurd lefty talking points, is shocking! And worse than that, you have the nerve to equate keeping these pictures out of sight, with Chinese and Arab propaganda news? HOW DARE YOU DO THAT; BRAINWASHED OR BRAINDEAD, ARE YOU!
