It is a shame this mission has not gotten more press, but I hope it will be covered more once the landing happens on the 12th. Landing _on_ a comet is awesome, and getting to that point and orbiting a comet is an impressive feat.

It doesn't help that the scientific team refuses to share images from their high-res instrument:

I've heard the Philae team may be more open.
Everybody should be conscious that every little outreach frustrated by an embargo is taking money away from the next missions and teams; maybe if someone had been more restrictive before, Rosetta itself wouldn't have ever happened.
I don't know if these are the ones you are referring to, but they did release some neat images:
Those are from the NavCam. The high resolution Osiris camera can capture an area of 19x19cm per pixel at a distance of 10km from the comet.
