Cyberpolitics are suitable for ppl who are moderately computer literate but kept out of more trad politics by illness, age or disability.....or perhaps I am just lazy :)
The big story today is the publication of photos apparently showing the torture of suspects by occupying forces in Iraq. The ptb have already questioned some of the photos because they appeared in the MIrror which is anti-war.
The photos were revolting. The photos of generals and politicians pretending to be outraged and shocked were twice as revolting.
It is not a surpise that a foreign occupying force treats the subject people with brutality. Imperial powers have always behaved like this. The surprise is that they behave like the stereotypical tourist and take photos of themselves doing it!
And the question which is not being asked by the media is how much is going on which is not being photographed.
Have a nice day
