Whatever happened to those torture photos the judges ordered released?
Months ago, a federal judge ruled that our corrupt administration had to release a whole new bunch of torture photos that were supposed to be worse than any we've seen.

So how come they haven't been released? Have the Republicans decided that the rule of law only applies to BJs given to Democrats?

How come the Bush Administration gets away with breaking the law, defying court orders and violating national security, and not one conservative sees a thing wrong with that?

Because conservative Republicans are not good Americans, that's why.

3. Hmmm...those pictures are Bush's Achille's Heel.
Surely that's all it would take to bring on an impeachment? Unless Alito gets voted in as the next Supreme Court and anarchy will be the soup du jour.

9. Oh I see. You're saying the media is scared to publish the pics
At least I think that's what you're saying. You know, the media is not owned by us. The media is owned by the enemy of the people. I hate to sound so trite, but hey, it's true. The media has only its advertisers in mind when it publishes news. So if we find out whom the pics were released to, why don't we boycott the advertisers of the media in question till they publish them? Or do we have no idea whom they were released to, or if they were even ever released?

16. yo! the NYT comment was serious
not to the point, but serious, nonetheless

If they are ever "made public," what exactly does that mean. To whom are they released?

17. Actually, I meant you in general
Most of the thread when I first looked at it was riffing on the whole thing. Seemed in somwhat poor taste if the person in question was looking for actual info rather than a quip.

So thanks for the info!

11. The ACLU's website has been less than helpful in following this
but presumably there is another appeal or something like that. Someone might pop in and give you the official reason why the administration remains unaccountable. At this point I assume they will remain so.
