ACLU :Judge Could Rule on ABU GHRAIB PHOTOS after Dec 15
ACLU says next deadline in Abu Ghraib photo case is Dec. 15
RAW STORY

A judge could rule on whether to order the release of new photographs from the U.S.-run Abu Ghraib prison anytime after Dec. 15, an ACLU spokesperson told RAW STORY.

The 144 photographs and four videos, which have been seen by New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh, are alleged to contain photographs of U.S. servicemembers involved in raping detainees, possibly underage. The photos and videos are in addition to an earlier set of photographs already released.

The Bush Administration has successfully blocked their release, first saying they needed time to anonymize those engaged in illicit behavior, and then seeking a permanent block, arguing the photos could endanger troops and civilians overseas

4. At least the number is back up to 144. It was 144, then it went down to
87 pictures for the longest(that's the number the Press started reporting, dropping the 144) - now it's back up to 144 pictures.

I noted it on DU when it first started happening.

I want people to remember the original number to be released - in this batch - was 144 and NOT 87.

Course, I despair of the government actually releasing the torture pictures -87 or 144 of them.

7. Isn't this like the 4th or 5th time this judge has ruled
to release the pictures?

How many more times can BushCo get away with appealing? There doesn't seem to be a limit.
