Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated]

Mihg writes "Try searching Google Images for abu ghraib, lynndie england, or Lynndie's boyfriend charles graner and note how you don't get any pictures of US soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners of war. Now try it with some of their competitors, like AltaVista, Lycos, or Yahoo!. Google used to be able to find them, as is discussed in this AnandTech forum thread." I'm guessing that this is another case of our administration confusing "National Security" with "Politically Undesirable". Update: 11/07 20:18 GMT by P : Google has a reasonable explanation.

oh, i see.. [/ontopic]

sorry for my poo`ish english, i'm Dutch.

I just realy realy love gmail, i'd even pay for it (assuming
it'll expand its functions etc on a continous basis,
thats very important) but have this one small thing to say..

Gmail (Google Mail) is pronounced Gay-Mail in dutch.
I suggest you try to find a somewhat less strange mail adress,
as people who dont know google-mail look quite silly at me
after they asked for my mail adress.

PS: i don't hate homosexuals, but dont like people to think i'm gay.
