A picture worth…
Bouquets of Gray posts a series of really revolting pictures. He asks, ” Does Ezra’s freedom to publish controversial images extend to these?” The answer is, and should be, yes. Because merely describing the phots as “pictures of prisoner abuse” does not even begin to convey the unpleasantness of these particular photos. Just as “blasphemous cartoons” radically overstates the offensiveness of the Danish cartoons.
The whole point of a free press is to publish and let the reader decide.
Update: Apparently these pics are being shown on CNN….Which has yet to show the Danish cartoons.
