1. Found my own answer! Judge is leaning toward believing Myers!
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/08/31/abu.ghraib.photos.ap/

The judge questioned whether he could disregard arguments by Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who has warned that releasing the photos would aid al Qaeda recruitment, weaken the Afghan and Iraqi governments and incite riots against U.S. troops.

"How can I ignore the expert opinion of Gen. Myers, who is concerned with the safety of his troops?" the judge asked. "I can't substitute my opinion for the opinion of Gen. Myers."

He said troops in Iraq "face danger every day and don't deserve to have that danger enlarged."



DAMN!!! I don't want to put our troops in worse danger, but I damn well don't want ShrubCo to get away with this crap again!
