From the Myers/Dayton exchange......

MYERS: Thank you, sir. 

Thank you, Senator Dayton. 

This was not to suppress anything. What I asked CBS News to do was to delay the release of the pictures , given the current situation in Iraq, which was as bad as it had been since major combat ended, because I thought it bring direct harm to our troops; it would kill our troops. 

We talked about it, and I said, "I know this report will eventually come out. But this -- if you can delay it for some period of time -- it would be helpful."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of Dayton's continual reference to the pictures as the report, even the Chairman JCOS eventually lost the distinction between the "pictures" and the "report".

I bring this up because, unlike Kerry and the medals vs. ribbons farce, I'm of the belief that the "report" and the "pictures", when referenced in the context as to their public disclosure, are two seperate and distinct pieces of information and not interchangeable.

HAVE OUR DETECTIVES REVEALED THE IDENTITY OF THE IRAQ TAPE LEAKER???
Do all clues lead to blot on American society Michael Moore as the man responsible for leaking Iraqi "torture" tapes to US and international media?
Several weeks ago Michael Moore bragged he had cameramen in his employ who were sending tapes everyday from Iraq via FedEx. He claimed these tapes were going to "tell the truth" about the situation in Iraq. Is it a coincidence that Moore claimed to be having Bush-related distribution problems with his upcoming treatment of the science fiction classic "Fahreinheit 451"
It fits perfectly within his publicity timeline and Moore's views and vows to bring Bush, Cheney, Rummy and administration. Finally, knowing President Bush would react with honor and compassion in a way that would hurt his conservative base by eventually apologizing for the actions of these soldiers and the Bush haters calling for the head of Secretary Rumsfeld.
Could Moore have believed it to be a win-win situation. Could this have been Moore's baby all along?

Precisely. And Rummy repeatedly said today that he had not seen the pictures (not the ones the press had obscured, but the unedited ones from the criminal investigation CD) until last night.
