Errol Morris recently spoke at the Chicago Humanities Festival, giving more details about his Abu Ghraib documentary.
Morris's presentation mostly talked about that idea of the iconic photograph. What can we learn from them? To what extent are they posed or performance? An interesting aspect about the Abu Ghraib project is that Morris has the opportunity to interview the photographers. We have an opportunity for more context than just the images themselves.

Andrew Sullivan has an interesting thought on the alternative to withdrawing soon from Iraq. Here's the dilemma: if you believe that "cutting and running" is wrong but you also believe that the Bush administration is waging this war incompetently, what's the alternative? As he says:
It's like asking Ken Lay to turn Enron back into an ethical, profit-making company.
What do you all think? Should the US clean up the mess it made, even if the cause of war was unjustified, or is withdrawing the lesser of two evils? Update: Kevin Drum responds. (10) #6/22/2006
