As another poster mentioned, he failed to get ahead of the message Cheney and the other torturers are floating-that the release endangers U.S. soldiers.
Well that ship has sailed. It was the acts themselves that make people hate our country and it's military. Trying to cover up the depiction of those acts doesn't make them go away.
Mr. President, releasing these photos is necessary for this country to begin to correct and heal the crimes and abuses against our Constitution and humanity that were engineered by the Bush administration.
Indeed, there will be NO healing until the band aid is ripped off and the full ugliness is exposed.
It is your duty to attempt to reestablish the ideals this country was founded on. It's why we elected you.
Don't do this.
