I do not believe all is as portrayed by Hackworth.

And neither do I. However I believe as Senator McCain. This information should be released to the public. It causes no additional danger and releases no vital information about the troops. Other than it seems there is a rogue group of military leaders that needs to be rooted out. The soldiers should face judgement but the leaders that gave orders, or lack thereof however the case may be, should face the exact punishment. And from what we've seen since these pictures were released, I do not believe that they would have faced any punishment if they had not been released

Weren't there courts martial already in progress -- before the photos were leaked?

I don't know how much sentencing discretion is allowed to military judges, but I'd guess they have a lot less leeway than civilian judges.
