Ok, so let’s get this straight – the US Government is suppressing more of the material from Abu Ghraib, apparently including videos of buggery by soldiers of prisoners, and the ACLU are having to bring a case against the US Government, because the latter’s rationale for not releasing the material (and thereby bringing people to book) is that it would cause a riot?
Have I actually got that correct? That the Bush government really is trying to argue that the:
“content reveals illegal and immoral government misconduct so disturbing that it could reasonably be expected to provoke violent reactions in the public that sees them.”
…and therefore should never be shown to anyone?
Is this really the case? I am just having a slight problem believing this…
