it has been in the news...i'ts just that now charges are set and court proceedings have started.

If its been in the news then it was not very much coverage because I have not heard anything on this. How does Abu Ghraib capture headlines for months because of some hazing but this has very little coverage?

From your article:

NATO, under the leadership of the US Army, has been preparing for possible publication of the photos for close to 100 days. In dozens of high-level talks with their Afghan partners, military leaders have sought to pursue the same strategy used by the US diplomatic corps in the case of the sensitive diplomatic cables released late last year by WikiLeaks. They warned those most directly affected and made preparations for the photos' appearance in the public sphere. This "strategic communication" was aimed at preventing a major public backlash.
