Tourists and Torturers

So now we think we know who took some of the photographs at Abu
Ghraib. The works attributed to Specialist Jeremy Sivits are fated to
remain among the indelible images of our time. They will have changed
the course of history; just how much we do not yet know. It is
arguable that without them, news of what happened within the walls of
that prison would never have emerged from the fog of classified
internal memos. We owe their circulation and perhaps their existence
to the popular technology of our day, to digital cameras and JPEG
files and e-mail. Photographs can now be disseminated as quickly and
widely as rumors. It's possible that even if Specialist Joseph M.
Darby hadn't gone to his superiors in January and "60 Minutes II"
hadn't broken the story last month, some of those pictures would
sooner or later have found their way onto the Web and so into the
public record.
