David Evan Harris wrote a good piece about this that he links to from  
Lessig's blog.

He also makes clear that although a model release allows the  
photographer to do whatever he/she wants with the photo, it doesn't  
(and can't, probably without specific wording) allow other people to  
use the photo. He suggests people photographed with the intention of  
releasing it under a CC license should be made aware of the risks  
before doing so, since that seems to be the only option.
