[edit] Fair use rationale for articles Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a historically significant political cartoon, showing the first documented use of the word "McCarthyism".
It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
The image is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the general public.
