MORE ABU GHRAIB PHOTOS

More Abu Ghraib photos will bew broadcast on Australian TV on Wednesday evening, the Sydney Morning Herald reports:

...Although a US judge last year granted the [ACLU] access to the photographs following a freedom-of-information request, the US Administration has appealed against the decision on the grounds their release would fuel anti-American sentiment.

Some of the photos are similar to those published in 2004, others are different. They include photographs of six corpses, although the circumstances of their deaths are not clear. There are also pictures of what appear to be burns and wounds from shotgun pellets....


Sixty photos will be shown on the broadcast. A gallery of fifteen of the photos is here -- there's nothing more appalling than what we saw in 2004, but this sure doesn't look like the aftermath of a harmless fraternity prank.
