Default Google conspiracy.

A friend sent me this...

After reading the article, I did a search for "Abu Gharib" images. I came up with these results.
Hardly what I expected, and certainly not complete. Thoughts?

If you don't like what Google does use another website to do your searches. They are a public company and can do what they want. They are not a Goverment agency.

dont you guys see??? a picture of a butterfly came up , a not so subtle allusion to the butterfly ballots. Below the butterfly it mentions islam. Which means that Joe Macarthy will be uncryogenically frozen to espouse theories against terrorism!!!! Then the republicans will sell the white house to the Bin Laden family! see how it all comes together???No [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] heh me neither

I understand that they're a private company and they can do what they want. I find it interesting that they, Google, as the largest search engine worldwide censor their searches and nobody knows about it. The possible reasons for doing so make me wonder as well.

That's true. But even when you spell it right, the search results are equally unsatisfying.

Default The name is spelled wrongly

You are googling for Abu Gharib while the correct/adopted spelling is Abu Ghraib.

Try the latter and see.
