In camera production to the Senate won't really accomplish much, in my cynical estimation. The Senate doesn't get to punish anyone. Their investigations only work by drawing public attention.

That being said, any further release will only serve to feed the passions of the mob - and that is precisely why we're being told the other videos are being hidden from view
What you call "the passions of the mob" are what we call democracry in action, and if you believe in the democracy -- and are willing to send Americans to die in Iraq for it -- then you have to be willing to trust people to do the right thing in hard circumstances like this.
