How embarassing
Video film of the wedding the American military denied had taken place has emerged.
And Susan Sontag comments on the brutalisation of society in America, which results in neither Bush’s administration (e.g. James Inhofe, Republican member from Oklahoma: “more outraged by the outrage” over what the photographs show) nor a portion of the American public seeing anything particularly wrong with the photographs of torture of Iraqis which are still emerging in the American press. Sontag makes similar points to those Michael Moore made in his film Bowling for Columbine in 2002.
No wonder Rumsfeld feels it neccessary to ban cameras, camcorders and camera-cellphones in Iraq’s military zones.
Update – 2004-05-26:
The Register thinks we might have been hoaxed on the claim that Rumsfeld banned cameras etc. in the military – the source could have been an article in The Daily Farce.
