1. I know we need to...
I just don't think I want to see the new ones.

6. I don't want to see any more of them either;
the reaction to the first ones is severe. If photos of children being tortured are released, the *insurgents* will be the mothers, grandmothers and siblings; or what Rumsfeld might call *Abu Ghraib Remnants and Deadenders*.

2. Sounded to me like they would be trying to keep a lid on them;
I think if the media had them we would have seen them already. They are probably too bad to allow them to be shown. Can you imagine the outrage by even more people if we could see a soldier raping an iraqi boy? I bet they will do everything in their power to keep those private.

3. I suspect CBS has plenty more.
60 Minutes II was probably just a preview. And, of course, the other networks are likely going to do some investigating to try to dig up media of their own so they can have their own angle of the torture story.

5. Rummie just said there's more
but he's trying to argue that if and when they come out they will undermine their criminal investigation. Bullshit.

7. I guess I'm curious about the timing
of their release.

It would seem to me that if any media outlet already had them, today would be the day to release them.

CBS might wait for 60 Minutes on Sunday.
