The federal court originally ruled on Sept. 29 that the Defense Dept. had to release all the Abu Ghraib documents. The Defense Dept. then filed a "motion to reconsider" asking the judge to change his ruling, but the judge denied that motion. However, he did allow one final extension until Nov. 15 for the government to either release the documents or appeal to a higher court. That's it - that's the last court record. Nov. 15 was the official deadline - I have no idea if the gov. actually appealed or just ignored the ruling. And apparantly no one in the media is asking them about this.

Here's the judge's order: http://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/courtweb/pdf/D02NYSC/05-05912.PDF
