Update on the Abu Gharib case

ACLU wins a temporary victory in it's Freedom of Information Battle.

Lanky's prediction:
- Eventually overturned on appeal. Certainly by the time it reaches the Supreme Court: who not only installed GWB as President, and upheld the rights of the VP to have secret meetings with Energy Companies to write energy policy, but also will have 2 Bush nominees on it by the time the case gets there.

Long-shot chance:
- It will succeed in appeals and not be seen by the SC.

Even longer-shot chance:
- Successive court battles will prohibit the Executive from destroying the photos until a Democrat is elected president AND said president decides to release the photos. (I'd say both conditions are improbable)
