What the Hell Are They Trying To Hide? Lieberman, Graham Seek To Block Torture Photos At All Costs

[Mr. Ected]

With the war supplemental under fire from some unlikely allies in the House, Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) threatened Monday to use any means necessary to keep torture photos hidden.

Lieberman and Graham said in a forceful joint statement that they would attach their bill, which allows the Secretary of Defense to suppress any detainee interrogation photos for three years at a time, to every measure that comes before the Senate until it becomes law. The two senators did not rule out a filibuster, and they suggested that their move has the backing of the White House.

3. "opposing the supplemental war spending bill"

I'd like to see Joe Lieberman vote against a war spending bill.

I doubt he could bring himself to do it, but maybe his desire to keep the American people in the dark will outweigh his war-funding impulses.

4. What are they hiding?

The raping of women, the sodomizing of adolescent boys in front of their parents, the sodomizing of young men with foreign objects, and murder. It's no wonder they want to keep this from the American public. Waterboarding pales in comparison.

6. Must suppress the truth, thanks Droppy Dog.

Joe needs to sane up and stop this crazythink.

7. Oh, FUCK THEM!

If the photos are so awful, then
the perpetrators and the people
in power who authorized the torture
should be TRIED and JAILED.

This is getting surreal.

8. Graphic pictures of sexual assault.

Maybe there are more grotesque images. Murder has been mentioned.

There's no way out of this that will be satisfactory for anyone involved.
