I was saddened to see the news today that Susan Sontag had died. As she was referenced here, I thought I should mention her passing.
It is a melancholy thing to be made aware of someone or something just before they disappear - at least we have the books in this case to remember her contributions.
She wrote an excellent piece on the recent Iraq prison photos in the New York Times ("Regarding the Torture of Others" May 23, 2004). I wanted to link to it for you, but you have to be a member (it is free and takes less than a minute). I heartily recommend that you check it out.
