WHATEVER they wear or don't wear, calling them "enemy combatants" justifies us treating them as less than human, including torture, and a complete stripping of their civil rights.

Obama doesn't want to release them because he doesn't want to prosecute the Bush torturers. If those photos came out, there would be one helluva outcry for the prosecution of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice, AND a few of the high-echelon military who instituted these torture programs.

The problem is, they think they've got it all under control right now, and they don't. These photos WILL be leaked.

And then they're going to look just as bad as the torturers, themselves, for trying to protect such barbarous acts.
