An article on Saturday about a federal judge's order regarding photographs and videotapes related to the Abu Ghraib prison scandal misstated a deadline and the response by Defense Department lawyers. The government was given until Friday to black out some identifying details in the material, not to release it. Defense Department lawyers met that deadline, but asked the court to block the public release of the materials. They did not refuse to cooperate with an order for the materials' release.

4. It would seem so. The question no one seems to be able to answer is

..what next? And when?

3. This is interesting

I haven't read the article yet, but this is an outright lie because the photos haven't been released to the ACLU on the date they were supposed to be.

"They did not refuse to cooperate with an order for the materials' release."

6. Maybe this is a response to heat

The way this reads, release could still be pending. :shrug:

5. I call bullshit on the NYT

The ACLU knows when the phucking deadline is!!
What the phuck do they mean they are not refusing to cooperate with a court order?! :grr:

The WAPO has been on fire lately. Maybe they would like to take on this story!
