Umm, obstruction of justice? Maybe something relating to the freedom of information act. I'm pretty sure that isn't legal. Especially in the middle of an investigation.
Obstructing justice? There are times when I don't give a crap about obstructing justice. Let's pretend for a minute that the Abu Ghraib idiots didn't take pictures. Let's say they got away with their stupid games. How awful would it be? Considering how those pictures have been used by our enemies, I say we'd be better off. Yep. There are times when justice can take a back seat. At least two of our brave soldiers were tortured, had their eyes gouged out etc. and murdered because of those pictures. Somehow, the feeling of righteousness just doesn't satisfy me.

I have little doubt that if those videos were intact, they'd be swiftly traveling around the world by now. Thank God they've been destroyed.
