Out of sight, out of mind

In Reason: The Pentagon’s Secret Stash: Why we’ll never see the second round of Abu Ghraib photos Matt Welch explains how “damage control” has trumped transparency, not that this should surprise anyone.
I guess I should be thankful that any pictures were taken at all and that even some of them got out. I hope that helped the situation, even a little. Gah.

    Did the the logo always blink like that? It’s very cool.
    One thing I’ve liked about “The Power of Many,” set against “The Power of One” (which can also be enobling) is it reminds me of a baseball joke of mine. It goes something like this: “In a surprising reversal, baseball scientists have discovered it is _not_ the little things that win ball games. It turns out it is the big things that win ball games.”
