With Blinders On

Democracy Project

Commentators have already noted the most recent hypocritical behavior of the "need to know" American media, which have collectively whined this week about the Bush administration's delay in revealing news of Cheney's shooting accident while nearly all of them still refuse to publish any of the Danish cartoons.

The Washington Post, which won't publish the cartoons depicting caricatured Muslims due to a commitment to "general good taste," apparently finds nothing wrong with publishing exclusive new video of Abu Ghraib abuse, which depicts, of course, actual Muslims.

Blinded by its apparent desire to discredit America and the Bush administration, the Post trudges ahead, content to refrain from publishing cartoons that could focus Islamist rage upon itself while it eagerly distributes footage that will at minimum emblazon a bullseye on the back of every American serviceman currently confronting the biggest threat of our time.

Classy.
