Pictures in the news.

The hooded prisoner, standing on a box, with wires taped to him... Horrific. These scenes of brutality hit us like an improvised explosive device. And we're caught unawares. These pictures can make quite a difference in the way a conflict is percieved back home. I hope it will change a few minds this election season, too.

I found these pictures of the 1990s. They're every bit as brutal as the current crop of pictures. Enjoy.
