Google Image Index Just Not Updated
We ran a story earlier today about the lack of Abu Ghraib photos in Google's image index. We now have a response from Google stating that the image index simply hasn't been updated recently, as well as a fairly convincing demonstration from a Slashdot reader: Rahga writes "I put together a page that counters the 'Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images' story. It is the tale of a Morgan Webb picture on images.google.com that's been driving a ton of traffic to my webserver 7 months after it was removed." The Abu Ghraib story broke in April 2004 (and officially became a non-story on November 2, 2004), so Google's index is indeed quite far behind.

Mwaahahahahahahah!
I love that this got a +5, Insightful!
Man. Do you actually believe the crap you wrote there, or did you have to take several efforts as you convulsed with hysterical laughter?
Calling Fox News "fair and balanced" is like calling a missing limb "just a scratch", ala the Black Knight.
Fox News, as a whole, should be regarded for what they are - tabloid journalism, pandering to the Republican Party, pretending to be real news. All media outlets have bias - I'm not saying they don't - but Fox is the worst. They play uplifting music, show American icons/flags/children when talking about or showing President Bush, and then play music with lots of minor chords, pick less attractive anchors, and use more condescending phrasing when speaking of the Democratic party.
Myself, I use the BBC for my American news - less blatant self-interest, for the most part.
... because that day the american voters decided that human rights are only for those they choose to call humans.
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
you are profoundly ignorant about what goes on in the the rest of the world... or for that matter, right next door
You're a moron. I know plenty of what goes on in this world. There's no bluster to my post, just simple truth. If you don't like it, don't read it.
Do you have ESP?
Pentagon spokesmen today said the reason we have no body count for dead Iraqis is that they just forgot to update it. Furthermore, the war ended 16 months ago, according to our head prophet, so there's really no need to update it. Besides, do you think Google or the Pentagon has any budget for that kind of bean counting?
1100 US Soldiers Killed
? Contractors killed (who cares)
100,000 Iraqis Killed (mostly civilians)
(lets call that collateral damages, sound nicer than DEAD FAMILIES)
I think the plan is when there are more US troops than Iraqis left alive, we'll acheive democracy
