USA - July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2005
Mark your calendars. Two hundred and thirty years of progress towards American leadership in the world are about to come to a bitter end, and the last days of true American influence in the world could get very ugly indeed:
Fri Jun 3, 9:25 AM ETA judge has ordered the government to release four videos from Abu Ghraib prison and dozens of photographs from the same collection as photos that touched off the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal a year ago.
The federal judge issued the order late Wednesday requiring the Army to release the material to the American Civil Liberties Union to comply with the Freedom of Information Act.
The ACLU said the material would show that the abuse was "more than the actions of a few rogue soldiers."
Judge Alvin Hellerstein said the 144 pictures and videos can be turned over in redacted form to protect the victims' identities. He gave the Army one month to release them.
Just in time for the Fourth of July. There will be fireworks alright, but not the kind we are used to seeing, I am afraid.
