Abu Ghraib vs. WWII

I thought today's reading, Invisible Empire: Visual Culture, Embodied Spectacle, and ABu Ghraib by Nicholas Mirzoeff, was really intriguing. The censorship that occurred with these photographs reminded of what the government did during WWII. During the second World War the government kept a lot of information and pictures from the public in order to control the narrative of the war. Here is one of the pictures that was released after the war. Images like this strayed from the idea that America was dominant and noble. These images are almost degrading, which is why they were censored. I find the parallels between this and the Abu Ghraib photos very interesting.
