...matter is grim. Central to the exhibition in Rome are some of the darkest images Botero has ever created: 45 paintings and drawings depicting the Abu Ghraib prison abuses in Iraq. The canvases - including Abu Ghraib 43, which shows a bruised, hooded detainee tied to the bars of his cell - will be shown publicly for the first time in Rome, and depict agonized, bloodied prisoners being tortured and bound by U.S. military guards. Botero says he was driven by shock at the prisoners' accounts, which haunted him for months. Yet some question even that. "It seems a willed attempt...

To senior Ali Fadhli, the Fox TV show 24, which had a plot this season about a Muslim terrorist cell, is "obnoxious," he says. "America has moved on to a new enemy.
