pics? Did the judge tell the puzzle palace to cough them up? Is Dickie Myers in jail yet?

It's all about distractions, folks. It worked for a while & the bu$hbots are trying to make it work again.

NEW YORK -- A judge said he generally ruled in favor of public disclosure when he ordered the government on Monday to reveal some redacted parts of its argument for blocking the release of pictures and videotapes of detainee abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison.

U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein made the statement in open court after meeting in a closed session with lawyers for the government and the American Civil Liberties Union, which is seeking release of the pictures and tapes.
