The 'perp's' (gotta love that term) will be tried by a Military Court.
It looks at some things a little different than a civilian court....and those pictures being published will NOT keep the 'perp's' from spending a lot of time in Leavenworth.

Yes, I know Military Court does things differently. In some ways their rules are more strict than other courts, as everyone involved has their own career at stake. It's not like you would have your typical jury pool, where a lot of times you wind up with just those too inept to get out of jury duty.
If you heard Rumsfield's testimony before the Senate committee, he himself did not delve into the file, as he did not want to create a situation where "pressure from up above" could be claimed in the defendant's case.
Bottom line, you do not pass active case files around, nor do you publish them, no matter where the case is going to be heard. Anyone who takes that form of action, is trying place a big fat thumb on the scale of justice in some way.
