Judge orders release of Abu Ghraib photos

Posted on September 29, 2005

NEW YORK — Saying the United States “does not surrender to blackmail,” a judge ruled Thursday that pictures of detainee abuse at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison must be released over government claims that they could damage America’s image.

U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein ordered the release of certain pictures in a 50-page decision that said terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan have proven they “do not need pretexts for their barbarism.”

The ACLU has sought the release of 87 photographs and four videotapes taken at the prison as part of an October 2003 lawsuit demanding information on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody and the transfer of prisoners to countries known to use torture. The ACLU contends that prisoner abuse is systemic.Source

I’m sure the ACLU are throwing a party with their buddies at CAIR over this one. Just what we all wanted, more sickening pictures to fuel the flames of jihad.

O’Reilly, as I type, is raking a bozo from the NYCLU over the coals about this. I hope to see the transcript…

Good thing we have judges that follow the law, instead of make law.
