Abu Ghraib Stonewall

From Editor and Publisher:

Pentagon Blocks Release of Abu Ghraib Images: Here's Why
Yesterday, news emerged that lawyers for the Pentagon had refused to cooperate with a federal judge's order to release dozens of unseen photographs and videos from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq by Saturday. The photos were among thousands turned over by the key “whistleblower” in the scandal, Specialist Joseph M. Darby. Just a few that were released to the press sparked the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal last year, and the video images are said to be even more shocking.

For some reason, I don't think this is the last time you'll see this "Screw you, we're above the law" sort of response from the Pentagon ... or the White House ... or the Office of the Vice President.

Hello, Congress. Hello, Senators. Got anything to say?

I thought not.
