NEW YORK (AP) The U.S. must release photographs showing abuse of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan, a federal judge has ruled in a long-running clash over letting the world see potentially disturbing images of how the military treated prisoners.
U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein's ruling Friday gives the government, which has fought the case for over a decade, two months to decide whether to appeal before the photos could be released. The American Civil Liberties Union has been seeking to make them public in the name of holding government accountable.

The ACLU has said the pictures "are manifestly important to an ongoing national debate about governmental accountability for the abuse of prisoners."Translation:
This will further prove that Bush and Cheney and all Republicans are war criminals.

Media scorecard:
Terrorist with underwear on head in Abu Ghraib >>> HORRIFFIC
Terrorist vaporized with drone missile >>> APPLAUSE
Bush should have had them all killed, he would still have gotten trashed by the MSM but at least the bad guys would be dead.

I say he should order the media to show the real pictures of the torture the likes of ISIS and their brothers visit upon innocent people.
Somehow I don’t think there is anything we do that remotely compares to crucifixions, beheadings, rape, etc.

"Bush should have had them all killed, he would still have gotten trashed by the MSM but at least the bad guys would be dead."The principle that statement describes used to be modus operandi for the USA ... we went to war .. killed everything in sight, and came home in a few years
Korea and Viet Nam were the classroom for the political take-over of the world's greatest fighting force.

They are going to stir the pot again.
Hope none of our military are killed because of the outrage caused by the photos.
