(Originally published on February 15, 2006, but since Herr Rove, pursuing his usual tactic of attacking the enemy's strength, has once more sought to clothe his Emperor in the raiment of "moral clarity" [DCOW], I thought I'd repost it this evening.)

No, this isn't the ER after they got done taking Cheney's birdshot out of Harry Whittington's chest. It's a new Abu Ghraib photo (via Kos).

The headline: "The photos America doesn't want you to see."

Not my America. Or what I thought, once, was my America....

NOTE There are sixty more. Of course, we're still waiting for the video of screaming boys being raped.

UPDATE See the original "moral clarity" post.

13:41:11 letsgetitdone Thanks
13:13:28 lambert lets -- up now!
13:12:40 letsgetitdone lambert, where is the link to the live blog
18:26:14 Michael Kwiatkowski lambert< Hey Lambert, feel free to cross-post on my blog. That's set up specifically for promoting candidates and causes. I put up links to some progressive and green party web sites, and I'm open to posting more.
20:09:38 lambert Tony, got your mail. I'm thinking, I'm thinking....
19:02:10 Sarah thx lambert. I'll resume lurking now...
16:04:47 lambert Sarah, this was a server issue now I hope resolved.
14:55:08 Sarah lambert, can you exempt my blog from calais? it keeps crashing my posts. I'll go to edit its tags and the "save" will time out.
08:11:01 BDBlue The tax situation does make it mostly ungovernable, which is an additional issue. No one wants a job where they are destined to fail. Right now that describes the California governorship.
07:50:17 nycweboy I always got the sense - my sister lived there while going to grad school and met her husband a native SFan as well - that California is just ungovernable. Neither party seems to be able to offer good Guvs, these days, Arnold inclusive.
15:44:18 BDBlue California's inability to produce decent Democratic candidates for Governor always astounds me. I think it's because the term-limits for State legislature prevents any real powerhouses and stars from developing. The entire system there is broken.
14:12:10 Jeff W That's why we need a Dem governor in—oh, wait, uh [url] [url]
01:51:55 hipparchia yay for the governator! [not]
00:03:31 Jeff W Single payer universal health care bill passes in California Senate [url] (but the governor will veto it)
07:44:51 lambert RL calls... Talk amongst yourselves....
07:47:22 nycweboy I think this "O'Keefe tries to tap Landrieu's phones" story will be a huge deal for the crazy right
20:46:09 BDBlue Welcome, nycweboy, l'm a regular reader of your blog. Good to see you here.
19:00:47 okanogen Yay nycweboy!!!!
