    Why now?

    rosalie wonders: "Also, as much as I strongly reacted to these [new pictures], I do wonder why we are seeing pictures which are 3 years old. When people see them, we react to them as if they are fresh and new."

    True, but that is the sole fault of the military, which tried to prevent what was inevitable. Now it has to take its lumps again, just as the horror of the original pictures was beginning to subside. These pictures would have added little to the effect of the original disclosures if released then.
