Just What We Need, More Grab Abu Photos

The ACLU, always looking for new ways to tear down the country, has convinced a judge in New York to release additional photos of prisoner abuse from the Grab Abu prison in Iraq. This is just what the world needs - another excuse for the nutcases of the world to get their panties in a wad.

ACLU lawyer Megan Lewis told the judge she believes the government has pictures of abuse beyond the Abu Ghraib images that sparked outrage around the world after they were leaked to the media last year.

Some of the thousands of pages of documents the government has released to the ACLU seem to refer to such images, and the government has not denied that additional photos exist, she said. The judge decided some pictures from Abu Graib could be released to comply with the Freedom of Information Act while others must be redacted or were not relevant to the ACLU's request, Lewis said.

She said the judge's findings likely would clear the way for the release of other pictures of detainees taken around the world by U.S. authorities.

``I do think they could be extremely upsetting and depict conduct that would outrage the American public and be truly horrifying,'' she said outside court.

You can almost hear the excitement in the ACLU lawyer's voice as she dreams about the damage to the U.S. that the additional photos will cause.

Will these photos reveal anything worthwhile about the prisoner abuse? Of course not. Everybody already acknowledges what happened and that it was disgusting and not worthy of the U.S. military. Reasonable people also know that the abuse was caused by a handful of people and is not common practice among our armed forces.

What will be the result of additional photos? More Muslims will die in stupid riots overseas and more U.S. troops will die in Iraq and Afghanistan as the insurgents get all fired up again. More needless loss of life.

One more thing, the ACLU will prove once again that they are basically an anti-American organization.
