more on the abu ghraib photos

* Rawstory has the ACLU statement about the new AbuG photos - here's a snip:
"We continue to see undeniable evidence that abuse and torture has been widespread and systematic, yet high level government officials have not been held accountable for creating the policies that led to these atrocities," said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. "We need to look up the chain of military command, because when the rule of law is not followed all of our personal freedoms are threatened. President Bush should appoint an independent counsel to uncover the full truth about the extent of the abuse and who is ultimately responsible."
* fyi - i mentioned earlier about the media blackout over the last year re the darby pix - here's a post i wrote about the media in july - at that time there were "4 videos, and 144 stills" - so i'm not sure how we got down to 80...

* some more of the SBS pix are here

* and 15 more here from SMH that i think are the same as the ones RS published
