"The judge said he recognized the pictures might be useful to the public as it answers questions about the prison scandal, including whether those in command knew about the abuse and how extensive it was.
Yet, he said, there was a "high prurient value" in the pictures.
"A judge cannot look at these without thinking to himself how quickly they'd be put on the 6 o'clock or 11 o'clock news and how easily they could be subverted to create a false picture of this country," he said.
U.S. Attorney David Kelley told the judge that insurgents and propagandists in Afghanistan and Iraq would claim that a judge's order to release the pictures was a "deliberate war act" by the United States.
He said insurgents who already are increasing the deadliness of their attacks would claim that more pictures were being released to "rub the noses of the Muslim world" in what had happened."
EVEN THE JUDGE, in August, admitted that posting this pictures yet again could and probably would be BAD. So tell me, Stu, did you send in your $$$ to the ACLU, to help this judge buy his way to a decision? Or do you firmly believe that this judge believes what you do....that the lives of our fellow Americans aren't as important as the posting of more pics on the internet and MSM. Good grief, man, are you insane?
The answer is no. I have never given money to the ACLU.
I have a question for you too. Is your son fighting for a corrupt goverment where judges can be "bought"?
Or do you firmly believe that this judge believes what you do....that the lives of our fellow Americans aren't as important as the posting of more pics on the internet and MSM. Good grief, man, are you insane?
He probably believes in Feedom of the Press, and all the warts that come with it. Every item on the Bill of Rights comes at a cost. Sometimes a great cost. Liberty isn't free. Sometimes it is downright expensive. And he probably realized that the military was fighting to preserve that very liberty.
Maybe that is why they ruled in that manner. Though I don't know the judge, and the above was simply a guess.
According to you, he could be bribed. So many somebody just bought him a Porche or something.
