Jay, at this point, it seems as if the thread has gone all the way back to the beginning.

Essentially, the thread boils down to two sides:

There's the "left" side of the Board, which argues:


  • Releasing the photos would help expose corruption
  • Releasing the photos would help drum up opposition to the war


There's the "right" side of the board and, in this case, most of the "moderate" side of the board, which argues:


  • The case is already being investigated and prosecuted without the release of the photos
  • We never release photos of sex crime victims; why start now?
  • The release of the photos will give terrorists and their supporters an excuse to riot and/or other retaliate, thereby endangering both our troops and civilians


Both sides have put forth their justifications. At this point, we just covering the same ground over and over. At some point, that gets boring.

So, with all due respect, unless you have something new to discuss, I really have better things to do than keep repeating the same arguments about this ad nauseaum.
