What ever happened to the latest torture photos?

[Roon]

I thought they were gonna be released by now?

1. The government said they were but didn't. All they did was...

...confirm that the pictuers that were leaked to Salon were real.

I know, I know.

I'm trying to keep the anger in a very special place for, say, when someone tries to take a protest sign away. They will have no idea what hit 'em.

2. Good question

What happened to Able Danger?
And what about the NS A "whistleblower"?

5. The NSA whistleblower, Tice, was supposed to

testify this past week, but everything was supposed to be confidential, meaning that we were never going to hear what he testified.

That's all I can tell you.

3. Same old same old. The court told them to release 'em. They said

okay (after a bunch of appeals). Then they just didn't do it.

What else is new?

4. I guess our Congress should remind them?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Defense Department has withdrawn its appeal challenging a district court order requiring it to turn over to civil rights groups 74 photographs and three videotapes depicting images of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, officials said Tuesday.

The American Civil Liberties Union and other rights groups filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the department in October 2003, before the release of the first images from the prison nearly seven months later, looking for documents related to abuse of detainees held in U.S. custody abroad.

Asked to comment on the department's decision to give up the appeal, ACLU attorney Amrit Singh told CNN, "The government never had a basis for withholding the photographs under the law in the first place. So the withdrawal of the appeal only confirms that the public is entitled to these documents under the Freedom of Information Act."
