where are they? where's the video? Didn't someone file freedom of information claim to get those made public?

I WANT TO KNOW.

I'm so sick of Bush's sh!t eating grin I want to scream.

1. I would also like to know
they were to be released on June 30th - that was the court ordered date - no word from the ACLU and no news on this anywhere

does anyone have any contacts with ACLU to find out what's going on?

5. I had heard end of June
what is up? I can't stand how all these "leaders" are in cahoots with each other more often than not up on the Hill. Back when they were commenting they had ashen faces and grave tones along the lines of "if this gets out to public our government and troops are F*CKED"

so....which is the sin? the acts taking place or someone getting them to light of day?

we know what Scotty McLiar's stumbling bumbling answer would be.

6. 7/22 was the extension requested by the US Attorney for the DoD.
The court-mandated deadline was 6/30. I posted on this earlier in the week. Basically, I found where the extension of the deadline to 7/22 was requested, but I could not find that the government's request was granted. However, it must have been granted or we would be hearing about contempt of court on the June 30 deadline.

8. Pentagon petitioned the court for an extention.
The said they were still reviewing the tapes frame by frame and they weren't finished. They wanted to release all photos together. The court granted an extention till July 22nd.

9. wow. that CAN'T be good. seems like they were waiting for bettre time
and there just may NEVER be a better time considering they seem to depict some explicitly horrid deeds by the guards and interrogators.

I don't trust these people. I can imagine they are going to doctor the footage to blur identities of perpetrators, etc.

the TRUTH must come out. so we can see exactly what this unlawful immoral war begat.

10. And what happened to the Pentagon's actual recruiting figures
for last month? I think some Army General told the media that recruitment was up in June but he refused to mention actual figures. Did anyone see the actual report or did it ever come out?

11. egggxactly. we can't let it slip to the memory hole
keep the questions up. we're a fairly intelligent constituency. I think we can keep track of:

inflated jobs and economic numbers
Enron Ken Lay still free
NYT reporter in jail
failed Iraq war
terror attacks
Delay scum
etc etc

KEEP THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE
