Is Google Image Search being censored?

This is a really weird question, but I know I am not the only person getting this: When I search for images I get a TON of red xs, but when I go to the page that is found, I see the image.

Just a guess but I would say because those sites have disabled remote linking.

Edited because I can't spell.

Possibly... but this JUST started today. I use image search all the time and have never seen this many red xs on any search.

What are you searching for? I used it earlier today and it worked.

Try something regular and see if you get the Xs. I plugged in "monsters" just now and it worked. Plugged in "Kurdistan" and got no red Xs there either.

Wow. Yea I don't think I have ever seen that many red x's on google.

And its not because of remote linking because I just tested an image that was red x and tried to remote link it and it showed just fine.

Works fine for me. I'm even searching for stuff like "Iraq deaths" and getting pictures of dead babies.

Could it be an ISP thing? This is really weird...

I just did "Iraqi civilian casualties", sans quotes, and got nothing but red x's.

Weird, I get the opposite. Two red Xs, and a page of pictures of dead babies. And the pictures not showing up weren't anything really.

I put that in, and all I got were three pictures, but they all showed up.

It's just some sort of glitch, then, most likely.

Rats, I was hoping for a conspiracy...

Gotta agree with that one.

I did the casualties one, and got one of three pics.

Then searched for Hussein, and got nothing but x's.

Course, I'm at work as well, so it might be a firewall thing.

Well, if wartime pics were somehow being censored, I'd think it'd be a political move, wouldn't you?

I just put in "Donald Duck" (gee, where did I get that idea?) and half the first page of images is broken. I think Oliver Stone can relax.
