U.S. military to release prisoner photos

I heard this on the news and then found this article that the U.S. military is going to release prisoner photos. I wonder if this will give the public more clarity about what is going on in the war, they say they are apparently better than everyone thought. Reading the descriptions of the photos does not make me feel better at all. I also wonder how they will be released? If they will simply be available or if they will be released through a specific media outlet? I assume they are simply released and the media will decide which ones they will use. A lot of the comments are pretty negative about the release but I think it will be a good thing and we will be less in the dark.
