And there are at least two problems with the response of the Times editors: 
that NY Times readers will recognize the difference.

1) it  makes quite elitist assumptions about the paper's readers and 2) it 
omits to consider how people with a different ideological point of view from 
that attributed to Times readers will point to the misleading inferences as 
attempts to mislead deliberately Times readers into believing that these 
were real photographs of real torture.
