Why? Because human beings are sick and twisted stupid motherfuckers who seem to think that this case here, this time, special case, this version, this occasion is different from the rest and they think they can get away with it.

Yes, they are. Does that make it okay then? Do we get to go out and punch old ladies in the face because, as a whole, human beings are dicks?

And the American public is shocked and outraged... shocked and outraged that some American politician shouldn't have been corrupt in the first place. Hello... politicians have been corrupt since the dawn of organized politics.

Who said anything about totally ending corruption or torture never happening again? That's a ridiculous leap to take from what I said. Can you please tell me where I said that by publishing these photos, we would never have another corrupt politician again or that it would mean the absolute end of torture throughout the future of mankind? If I'm wrong, let me know, but I think you're just taking what I said out of context and pointfucking it so that you can make your point by distorting mine.
You're right, politicians are corrupt, so by your logic, we just let it go and be complicit in enabling their corruption because they're corrupt anyway?
Why put a thief in jail if they'll just go out and steal again, right? Just save the taxpayers a lot of money and send him on his way?
When someone has power and chooses to abuse it, they should be called on it. The people should know the person they've elected is corrupt so something can be done. As a resident of Illinois, I'm glad Blagojevich was called out on being corrupt. I wouldn't want that douchebag having power just because corruption has been around for a long time so that makes it okay.

So how many released photos are enough? Are there guidelines to this that I'm not aware of? I didn't realize that we reached a photo quota.

So you keep asking this question to me and continually brush my answers without answering yourself, I have to ask, what purpose does hiding the photos serve? If releasing them must have a purpose, then hiding them has to as well, right?
