I don’t know what to make of it. The NY Times features a rather gratuitous story about hunger strikes as Guantanamo Bay and how the prison guards go about feeding prisoners who are near death.

Then right next to the the article they have this picture. It’s “an ad on the Web for the restraint chairs that were sent to the Guantanamo detention center.”

Restraint Chair

Looks like The Times has taken up the old blogger trick of pulling ads off websites to feature next to their stories. Much cheaper than hiring one of those expensive photographers. I guess they couldn’t do an exclusive photo shoot.
