The best evidence

A federal judge has ordered the Army to comply with the Freedom of Information Act and release Abu Ghraib photos (in redacted form) to the American Civil Liberties Union. The judge made the commonsense remark last week that he believed photographs "are the best evidence the public can have of what occurred" at the prison. Clearly, we can't rely on the current administration to honestly provide accurate information about anything. It's about time. The ACLU filed a law suit seeking this information way back in October 2003. I can't believe we live in a country where we have to sue the Army to release non-classified information about its actions. And I'm tired of the U.S government pretending its my benign daddy, deciding what I should see and hiding things that might be disturbing. This is a democracy. We the People own the military, not Shrub or Rummy.
