You Are Not Authorized to See These Pictures of the Oil Spill, Citizen … Do Not Look!
The title is a parody of the fact that the government has effectively made it a felony to take pictures of oiled wildlife.
Probably the most tragic photos I have seen in quite some time – While most of these pictures have previously been published by the mainstream media – and presumably will remain publicly available – that assumption is not 100% certain. By way of analogy, the government sometimes reclassifies as top secret information which was previously declassified.
More importantly, while some of these photos have been widely seen, most have not, and I have never seen them rounded up in a single page before.
