I have been watching the news for information about the release of the other pictures from Abu Ghraib. The ACLU, under the FOIA, requested that these pictures be released and a judge had ruled that they should be available by June 30.
Now it appears that there is extensive editing to be done to the video tapes as they must be edited one frame at a time. This is in addition to editing of the pictures to block out identities of people involved. A US attorney has asked for an extension til July 22.
The release date has not been determined yet, but when they are released, they will serve to remind people of the atrocities that occurred at Abu Ghraib.
I remember that when senators looked at these pictures in private, many expressed shock and said they were worse that the pictures already published.

In issuing his order, U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein of New York City gave the government until June 30 to get the photos ready by removing information in the pictures that might identify the victims. The judge said the photographs "are the best evidence the public can have of what occurred" at Abu Ghraib.
David Kelley, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has asked Hellerstein for an extension - until July 22 - to get all the video and still pictures ready for release.
In a June 10 letter to Hellerstein, Kelley said the government would have the photographs ready by June 30. But "in order to address all of the responsive Darby images at one time," he requested that Hellerstein not order the release of any until the video processing is completed July 22.
