Reminder: Abu Ghraib photos release is Thur 6/30

Unless a huge terror attack happens Friday, the news will be dominated by 144 photographs a judge has ruled the Pentagon must release by 6/30.

The Pentagon is permitted to blur the victims faces so their identity is protected. That's why the judge did not force the photos to be released the day of the ruling, June 2.

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon is preparing to release another batch of photos showing prisoner abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, a step that is likely to renew criticism of the U.S.

The digital photos are from the same batch amassed by Army Spc. Joseph Darby, who was based at Abu Ghraib. Darby turned the photos over to military investigators last year. Later, some photos showing naked Iraqi prisoners being forced to simulate sex acts were broadcast and published.

Expect a code Red from the Homeland folks on Friday.

5. Night of the Long Knives...

oder die Reichsmordwoche. Well, the Bushies haven't felt secure enough to cleanse the party of the Fellow Travelers in quite that fashion as yet. I suppose the equivalents here would be the Libertarians. Maybe by their overreaching they will fail to get there.

9. I will not be celebrating the fourth of July, either.

And neither will my family. None of us feel up to celebrating anything in light of the horrific things that our country's government has been doing. My God.

Some part of me just won't believe until I see it that these photos will actually BE released. Will they??? What media outlets will carry them, all of them, or what?
