The Deeper Price of Censorship: White House Nixes Photo of bin Laden’s Body – Reading The Pictures

We at BagNews are profoundly disappointed in the Administration’s decision to censor the photo of bin Laden’s body, just as we were disappointed when the Obama Administration censored the extended set of Abu Ghraib images it has in its possession.
