Ouch...no pee-stained mattress to land on, either. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3874919)
Gee, I guess Obama figures it would look bad if he squelched the pictures of his AIRPLANE TERRORIZING NEW YORK, but not pictures of panties on heads at Abu Ghraib.

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would be upset about having panties on their head.........

22. How about the dignity of those who were tortured?
If those photos are released and lets say some of those prisoners are released to their home country...they may not be welcomed back. For example (albeit a bad one), what if one of them was photographed while being force fed pork? That may put a stain and stigma on that individual for the rest of his life. Why torture them even more? Save the photos for the judge and jury.
:lmao: Ok, this is a mole's work. I just KNOW it.

It's either a mole or some DU'er really trying to spin this into a positive.

50. I hope Obama fails to block these photos and I hope he fails big.
Perhaps he means to.
I wonder if Wanda Sykes will make a joke of your kidneys failing next?

A different bonfire on the same subject.
So I guess Obama is saying the torture photos can never be released (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5646879)

26. Bush doesn't show them = cover-up. Obama doesn't show them = "why do we need to see them"?
Pardon me while I

3. I'm guessing they have boxed him into some impossible position.
I can only IMAGINE what is going on behind the scenes with the White House, the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs, the Justice Dept and the ACLU.
This puts the crushing weight of the world squarely on his shoulders, and NO OUTCOME will be a good one.
You don't piss of the CIA, they know where the bodies birth certificates are hidden.
Quite a bit of back and forth in this one.
