Gee, I thought those photos we saw before were an isolated incident? Well, guess not. And now it seems that President Treason doesn't think he needs to obey the law and release the rest of the photos. Gosh, that's new. This White House thinking it knows what's best for America, to hell with the law?
From, the NYT.
Lawyers for the Defense Department are refusing to cooperate with a federal judge's order to release secret photographs and videotapes related to the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal....Oh that's choice. Now the "quaint" Geneva Conventions are suddenly important laws to uphold?
In early June, Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein of Federal District Court in Manhattan ordered the release of the additional photographs, part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union to determine the extent of abuse at American military prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan and at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba....
He rejected arguments from the government that releasing the photographs would violate the Geneva Conventions because prisoners might be identified and "further humiliated," but he ordered any identifying features to be removed from the images.
Hey, maybe Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn could express sympathy for someone wanting to kill that judge?!
