Here are some NAMES to put with the Abu Ghraib photos fight:

I didn't see em mentioned in the new info so just thought I'd keep 'em present:

In issuing his order, U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein of New York City gave the government until June 30 to get the photos ready by removing information in the pictures that might identify the victims. The judge said the photographs "are the best evidence the public can have of what occurred" at Abu Ghraib.

David Kelley, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, has asked Hellerstein for an extension -- until July 22 -- to get all the images, both video and pictures, ready for release. He said the Army's Criminal Investigation Crime Lab was currently processing the videos frame by frame.

1. "Processing frame by frame" ?

Sorry, that makes me nervous.

2. So... what judge

gets to say if they can have "secret" reasons for not letting us have the pictures?

6. I would assume it's Judge Hellerstein - the same one that gave them

the extension to provide the photos.

I'm betting he's pretty ticked too.
