Revolting Images

BBC is reporting that a Federal District Court Judge has ruled that unreleased Abu Ghraib images must be released. The government is certain to appeal.

In my mind, it would be far better for the government hold the images and start terminating the military commanders and cabinet heads who are responsible for setting the policies that led to these atrocities. Instead, the government has covered-up their directives and scapegoated the subordinates who followed them to their logical conclusions.

There is little doubt that the images, video and audio in question is explosively revolting. Textual descriptions alone are enough to turn strong stomachs. Here's a link.
