So, the cartoon riots are finally starting to calm down... except in Pakistan where people are still dying. The Arab world is still profoundly disturbed, but beginning to gain a sense of perspective and the demonstrations are reduced. So what do we do next? Well, if you are the Australian news program, Dateline, you release new photos from Abu Graib showing alleged torture... that really tell us nothing new. That's right, the new photos/videos are not new. They do not document any additional alleged torture, abuse, or violations. These are just more of the same. And guaranteed to stir the Muslim world back to fiery outrage.
There are some stories that need to be told, and darn the consequences. There are other stories that have already been told, and the retelling of them may fill a deadline but can only hurt everyone else. They should have run with their second story: "Puppies are cute! News at 11".
