I find the photos satirical in nature. As Adele says the brunette looks typically model bored, above even the annoyance of a strip search,ho hum. Not allowing artists to freely choose how to portray their point of view is the greater danger. Finding photos of women in compromising positions is nothing new or inherently bad. Perhaps finding them in high fashion is, I don't read them enough to know for sure. These photos more highlight the danger of the path we are traveling than romanticize or support a police state. Carry on, Mr. Meisel. I am not sure how Ms Bourke sees this as an endorsement of the war on terror. I find the photos satirical in nature.

After getting to the frontpage and clicking the large picture, how long do you wait for the slide show to load? I had to give up.

The Observer did fire their sex columnists for writing about sex too much. And there was also that column that <a title="Sex Blog Smearjob" href="http://www.erosblog.com/2006/09/07/sex-blog-smearjob/">ErosBlog quoted recently</a>, which trashed sex blogs. Maybe it *is* a concious shift towards conservatism. (Or maybe I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. LOL) Anastasia, I don’t read the Guardian often enough to agree or disagree with you as to whether this attitude is typical. The Observer did fire their sex columnists for writing about sex too much.

Fashion and photography can be used to emphasize extreme aspects of our world and yeah, the Guardian is just a 'hoity-toity' rag posing as a broad newspaper/publication that veers more toward conservatism. 'If we don't maintain the status quo, there'll be chaos and we can have none of that', which is what some of the columnists in that publication may as well say..as well as labelling everything perverted or for 'cheap thrills' when the subject matter portrays elements that are in fact ugly (in terms of new age fascism etc).
