35. Truth and transparency are the best disinfectant
You do realize that there is a sizable group of people who do NOT believe that torture happened, who do NOT believe that we tortured simply BECAUSE the photos have not been released?
When you have republican spinmeisters like O'Leilley, rush, et al telling them that this did NOT happen...how do you combat that?
How do you crush their glass houses and make them open their eyes to the truth?
How do convince the Christian fundamentalists that THIS is what they bought with their unfettered support?
Pictures are historical. I am pretty certain Germany might have agreed with you at one point in history. Heaven forbid the world should SEE what horrors their government unleashed on Jews.
The written word can be altered or simply not read, but when you have photographic evidence that is seen by the majority of the population--generally the good will triumph evil and as a country, it should make us vow never again...not in OUR name.
