U.S. must release all prison-abuse photos

The Statesman Journal takes a strong stand on the US releasing the remainder of the Iraqi prisoner abuse photos:

"In an era when soldiers bring digital cameras and picture phones to the battlefront, there's no way to stamp this X-rated slide show “top secret.” The damning pictures will get out one way or another, at the speed of e-mail.

Better to release them at once than to let them leak out a few at a time. Better to face the music now than prolong our disgrace before the world."
