STILL IN THE DARK

Among point-scoring against “the press,” I still don’t know if Glenn Reynolds favors or does not favor showing the bodies killed by Katrina and governmental negligence. I presume he’s happy the government is no longer trying to impede photographers. He’s right about double standards at CNN (so is Ed Driscoll), but I still don’t have a clue what he thinks. As long as some effort is made to protect individual dignity and privacy, I think we should see reality as it is. That’s why I believe we should have seen the Islamo-fascists behead their victims; why we should be shown the full extent of the barbarism of four years ago in New York City; and why the remaining Abu Ghraib photos – the ones that show what really went on – should be released to the public. We have a right to know the truth about our enemies and we have a right to know what is being done – or not being done – in our name.
