Court orders Bush administration to release torture photos.»

An appeals court today ruled that the Bush administration “must release 20 photographs of U.S. soldiers and detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan” that were demanded by the ACLU, which is seeking information on prisoner abuse. The court “rejected the government’s claim that releasing the photos would endanger the lives or physical safety of U.S. troops and civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. A lower court judge had already ordered that identifying facial features be removed from the pictures before they are released.”

3. Well, if they in fact do release the pix (which is doubtful), we can show
the country what McBush also supports.

2. Oh man.
This might be the first president in history to leave office with approval ratings in the single digits.

5. Bush will REFUSE to comply, and there will be no consequences.
You heard it here first.

8. If what was going on in those photos
would endanger the lives or physical safety of U.S. troops and civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan then why were they doing it?
