How will right spin next Abu Ghraib photos and child rape videos?
Like "Why is it Michael Jackson can molest boys for YEARS, but when President Bush has our troops sodomize the brats of a few terrorists, everybody gets in a tizzy. I tell you, if President Bush were black, this would not be an issue."


After 20 years of Rush, I wonder if the hardcore right will buy this round of excuses.

1. They won't.
If those get released in two weeks it will be a stake through the heart.

3. When can we expect them?
Are they really in the pipeline, or are they stalled again?

4. Set for a release on the 30th.
Legal wranglings possible, as is breaking the law and simpy not releasing them.

9. Another breaking the law ordeal
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 06:54 PM by FreedomAngel82
*sigh* I've lost count how many laws they've broken. *Sigh* Isn't there a memo that takes this to the top of the ranks (aka Bush)?

12. Well if they're going to order US troops to rape kids...
they probably don't care much about court dates.

5. I think the military wants them released
that's the impression I got from listening to Seymour Hersh talk about it. Those guys know this is wrong and most know what Bush is and is doing.

If it gets jammed up in court again, it will probably just leak out.

15. the great trick would be figuring out why some past is past and
other pasts are vitally important (besides the obvious reason).

16. Question for those that know
What happens if Bush classifies the photos "Top Secret"?
Will they have to release them?
