Update: Hold on there, Bobbalouie! This report says it's not a done deal yet: An appeal of Hellerstein's ruling is expected, which could delay release of the pictures for months.

Hoorah! How long should this nationwide masochism be dragged out? We know what happened. We punished the guilty. We had our nationwide shame. Can't we just "MoveOn?"
