This is incredibly disturbing. Has Google signed on with the fascist Bush regime to help them control the past? I have to admit this was my biggest worry about Google going public. That Republican dollars would flow into it and take control of information.
Check out a Google image search as compared to a search on Alta Vista for the term "Abu Ghraib". I've tried every different spelling on each and Alta Vista stays consistent while Google never shows pictures of the torture inside the prison.
This isn`t the first time I've heard complaints of bias against Google. Early on with Google News search there were many complaints from the lefty blogosphere that Google was giving propagandist Rushlimbaugh.com just as much weight as a reputable news source. A problem that persists today. If we cannot get a satisfactory explanation from Google I believe we have no other choice but to assume they have been co-opted by Bushco and boycott their service.
