3. This is what I was wondering about ...

Maybe I missed something?

"Following a two-hour closed hearing in New York on August 15, a federal judge ordered the government to reveal blacked-out portions of its legal papers arguing against the release of images depicting abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib. The government has until August 18 to make the currently redacted statements public, or to appeal the decision."

2. Wow. It sounds as though the judge is leaning toward
releasing the photos. Of course, we will have to wait until Aug 30th to see what comes next.

6. As much as I don't want to view those photos, they need to be released.
