These pictures were taken ILLEGALLY, by the same people who committed the actions at Abu Ghraib and all of them are now in jail.

And yes, actions have consequences, consiquences that you obviously don't care about at all. And WHY is that? WHY DON'T YOU CARE THAT PUBLISHING THESE PICTURES PUT THE AMERICAN TROOPS, WHO HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THESE DEEDS, IN HARMS WAY ?

You obviously also have less than no idea at all, about history and the precidents set lobg before you were a gleam in your father's eye.

Illegal pictures of illegal actions. Doh!!!! These folks weren't just mean, but stupid as well.

What are you talking about? I would never make naked men for a human pyramid. I promise.

And WHY is that?

Because it's just not something I would do.

WHY DON'T YOU CARE THAT PUBLISHING THESE PICTURES PUT THE AMERICAN TROOPS, WHO HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THESE DEEDS, IN HARMS WAY ?

Because I think you are wrong. Do we not publish an article about yet another postal worker shooting up his office becuase it will make them all look bad? Do we not publish articles about Police Officer abuse for fear that some thugs on the street will take it out on innocent officers?

Heck, we might as well not report any news, because everything is bound to piss someone off, and who knows who they might decide to take it out on. Maybe they will beat their kids in anger ... who knows. Maybe the Chinese model of information consumption really is for the people's own good. I like to think it's not, but you are making a good case for it.

And for the record, the people who would be most "offended" by it are already actively shooting at our troops. What, do you think this article is going to make them start using the "real" bullets instead of those silly blanks they have been firing for the past 2 years?

You just don't want to see the pictures for personal reasons. And that is your right. But making that decision for the rest of the world is just far too left wing totalitarian for me.

You obviously also have less than no idea at all, about history and the precidents set lobg before you were a gleam in your father's eye.

Welcome to the here and now. Enjoy your stay.
