Reminder - More Abu Ghraib abuse evidence due soon from DOD

[cyberpj]

This is going to add a lot of insult to injury for BushCo. Unless something's changed, the ACLU should be getting the photos from the DOD by June 30th and videos soon after. Remember? Sadly, more US disgrace is on the way... (Will Halliburton simply get a new contract for an Abu Ghraib expansion?)

NEW YORK -- A federal judge has ordered the Defense Department to turn over dozens of photographs and four movies depicting detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union.

(snip)

The court order filed late yesterday requires the government by June 30 to reprocess and redact 144 detainee abuse photographs provided by Sergeant Joseph Darby to the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command. The order also requires the government to provide the court with an estimate of the length of time it will take to reprocess and redact four movies included as part of the Darby collection by June 10. The decision comes after the court privately viewed eight of the images from the Darby collection to determine whether the photographs should be released under the FOIA. The ACLU expects redacted versions of the photographs to be released within the next six weeks.

3. Don't forget there is video and photos classified National Security

top secret America and the world will never see, These are photos of abuse and torture that would make you vomit.

Proof of war crimes classified by Bush because he does not want his crimes to come to light. What we see will be horrible and illegal acts, but remember there are darker crimes B ush is hiding under the privilige of National Security.

People are outraged at comparisons of Bush to Hitler...Hitler did not start out by killing 6 million jews, first he "fixed the facts" to justify his first illegal invasion of a soverign nation. Oh, yea, his country's version of a christian right were firmly behind him too. Some thought he may be the Messiah.

I think the comparison may be apropos.
