Salon.com Publishes Additional Abu Ghraib Photos in U.S. [Feb. 16, 2006]
“Salon has obtained files and other electronic documents from an internal Army investigation into the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal. The material, which includes more than 1,000 photographs, videos and supporting documents from the Army's probe, may represent all of the photographic and video evidence that pertains to that investigation.
The files, from the Army's Criminal Investigation Command (CID), include hundreds of images that have never been publicly released. Along with the unpublished material, the material obtained by Salon also appears to include all of the famous photographs published after the Abu Ghraib scandal broke in April 2004, as well as the photographs and videos published Wednesday by the Australian television news show ”Dateline.“
The source who gave the CID material to Salon is someone who spent time at Abu Ghraib as a uniformed member of the military and is familiar with the CID investigation.”

It's hard to look at the photos, but I am glad that someone is taking them and getting them out. The mainstream media and the administration have sanitized this war to the point where it seems like it is just a video game being played in a far away place.
