Here's an Arab Newspaper that has it right

[Riprorin]

Arab media outlets with strong anti-U.S. sentiments have used the controversy to voice more opposition to the occupation of Iraq, but the Arab media are not a monolith that sways to one agenda.

Khaled al-Maeena, editor of Arab News, an English-language newspaper in Jidda, Saudi Arabia, withheld publication of the most disturbing of the Abu Ghraib prison photos. "They're distasteful. I don't want to inflame passions, '' he said. "I don't want to see the whole American nation condemned for what only a handful of people did, just as we don't want to have the application of collective guilt on all Saudis because 16 of the 19 (Sept. 11) hijackers came from here."

Arab media present varied viewpoints on prisoner abuse - Coverage ranges from balanced to biased

That's always good to hear. Except that if I remember correctly, Arab News is pro-US.

So he withheld publication of the photographs. Would you call that balanced, or biased?

hell, the photos are circulated enough that I doubt it will matter whether they print them or not.

From the stories I have read, you don't remember correctly.

What are you basing that on?

I'm waiting for the Videos and more pictures to be released by the whitehouse.

Supposely, it's better to release them before they get leaked.
