This is my second day of re-publication of these photos. These pictures, depicting torture n a US military prison, were first brought to light in Australia, and may be among those a judge has ordered released in response to an ACLU lawsuit.
Frank Rich, of the NYT, has written an excellent piece arguing for official release of the photos sought by the ACLU. Read it here:
"...the president’s flip-flop on the release of detainee abuse photos — whatever his motivation — is a fool’s errand. The pictures will eventually emerge anyway, either because of leaks (if they haven’t started already) or because the federal appeals court decision upholding their release remains in force. And here’s a bet: These images will not prove the most shocking evidence of Bush administration sins still to come."
