I usually try to avoid political statements, not because I'm not political, but I think there are hundreds of people out there who do it better than me, but this Susan Sontag article from The Guardian really blew me away. I've been really quite shocked and have a hard time looking at the photographs from Abu Ghraib, and this article is a really interesting look at the power of photography of this nature, and what it means for the US today. Personally, I really admire Sontag's photography, but I've never really looked at her writing, but I really enjoyed this over my morning brioche.
