The human rights scandal now known as "Abu Ghraib" began its journey toward exposure on Jan. 13, 2004, when Spc. Joseph Darby handed over horrific images of detainee abuse to the Army's Criminal Investigation Command (CID). The next day, the Army launched a criminal investigation. Three and a half months later, CBS News and the New Yorker published photos and stories that introduced the world to devastating scenes of torture and suffering inside the decrepit prison in Iraq.

Today Salon presents an archive of 279 photos and 19 videos of Abu Ghraib abuse first gathered by the CID, along with information drawn from the CID's own timeline of the events depicted. As we reported Feb. 16, Salon's Mark Benjamin recently acquired extensive documentation of the CID investigation -- including this photo archive and timeline -- from a military source who spent time at Abu Ghraib and who is familiar with the Army probe.

As far as I can tell this is simply an attempt to pretend that the complete record has been released.

Admin is fighting tooth and nail to hold out on more photographs, 3 videos in particular, and an executive order from President Bush specifying what torture is approved and what isn't.

...or how many CDs it took to hold "all" of the photos.

Maybe Salon is saying they've released everything they obtained (which may not be "everything")...

:shrug:

Salon has released everything they have and this is being played as all there is. I don't know if it is the fault of the original poster at salon, I suspect not.
