Court Orders Release of Detainee Abuse Photos

Yesterday, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the government to release 21 photographs depicting the abuse of detainees by U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The decision comes as part of the ACLU’s long-running battle to expose government misconduct at detention facilities, and is a clear victory for the public’s right to know. It also joins a continually growing catalogue of judicial criticism of the Bush administration’s handling of the so-called "war on terror." And there is no doubt that the 2nd Circuit’s recent decision will not be the last judicial opinion on the matter. What is unique about the case, however, is that it puts in historical context this administration’s ever-strained relationship with the Geneva Conventions..

"There were around 24,000 recordings made, in all and the Bush administration have been highly evasive about their current whereabouts."

If this kind of info would only make it to the public (newscasts, papers, magazines, e-mails, video's.. )
