NEW YORK — A federal judge Thursday ordered the release of dozens more pictures of prisoners being abused at Abu Ghraib (search), rejecting government arguments that the images would provoke terrorists and incite violence against U.S. troops in Iraq.

If this is going to provoke terrorists, which anyone with a brain realizes it will since anything Abu Ghraib seems to do - then what the HELL IS WRONG WITH THE ACLU and this judge?

Why release these pictures now - can't it wait a few years till we're leaving Iraq? I don't understand where this anti-Americanism comes from - we are at war why doesn't this judge realize that? Doing this UNDERMINES the war - so if they do realize that we are at war - they are KNOWINGLY abiding the enemy.

I linked this same story from another source. The judge doing this was 100% right. Some of the things going on at Abu Gharib and Gitmo and Bagram are bluntly, un-American.

Does it hurt the war effort? Sort of. If by hurting the war effort you mean it pisses off a bunch of people, then yes. If this comes out and it gets swept under the rug like the last round did, then absolutely it hurts the war effort and in that case the war effort SHOULD BE HURT. This is AMERICA. We are supposed to be in the right, not just when it's convenient, but when it is not. If we're over there raping and killing and torturing and pillaging, then we deserve to get our asses handed to us because we're in the wrong.

No, it can't wait a few years, and if we're doing things like what Graham has said, then the people involved should be taken out and hanged. What is alleged there is against everything that this country stands for. This is a great country because we don't let that kind of shit happen. Period.
