(Faux) Obama to block lease of interrogation pics for ACLU

says it will be used for propaganda purposes.

totally unacceptable.

Obama is right. The safety of our soldiers comes first

terrorist home or cave and used as used as a rallying cry against us.

Time to purge the Bushie elements that have apparently infiltrated DU.

"George W. Bush is 1000% right. Releasing the photos would endanger American soldiers and be used as a rallying cry against us"

Is that what you would have written?

be pissed to.

Everyone with sense knows there was torture, we don't have exacerbate the situation.

Abu Ghraib keeps coming to mind.

Have you seen our terrorists film attacks. We've been feeding ideas for years. A couple of pictures won't do any damage that wasn't done before.

Secondly, the pictures were shown about what down in Abu Ghraib...did we get any new attacks then?! I felt that damaged us enough and if you look on the net you can pull up those pictures any time.

I can understand a delay, but I doubt anything can stop the eventual release.

They are refusing to release the photos until the Supreme Court rules (they hope in favor) of their objections to any release of the photos.

--------------------------------------------

The American Civil Liberties Union has sought the release of the photos and won a lawsuit against the U.S. government before the federal appeals court in New York. The only legal option left to the government was to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. Instead the Obama administration had earlier made the decision to end the appeals and release the photos.

Last week, the president met with his legal team and told them that he did not feel comfortable with the release of the photos because he believes their release would endanger our troops, and because he believes that the national security implications of such a release have not been fully presented to the court.

At the end of that meeting, the President directed his counsel to object to the immediate release of the photos on those grounds.

But given a 5 to 4 conservative majority, I think there is a very good chance they'll rule in favor of the Obama Administration no matter how weak their arguments might be.

...And Mr President, if I wanted a republican war and torture apologist in the WH I would have supported McCain...get your head out of your ass, Sir, and start acting like a Democrat...

I wonder what the OUTRAGE OF THE DAY will be tomorrow?

:shrug:

Just no. This is not what I elected. Not another secretive administration.
