I am glad the media published the photos. I don't think we have ever seen an Administration where so much information was kept from the people. It is in these times that the fouth estate has even a more sacred duty to shine light on what is happening.
I have read that about 25 people have died under suspicious circumstances and two of the deaths (at least) have been classified as homicides. We are now hearing about more abuse in Afghanistan and Gitmo.
Only by knowing what is going wrong can people demand that such actions stop. Since the government will not tell us what is happening -- we must rely on the press.
