Reply #401: Well, that's certainly the message he's sending -- which is counterproductive

1. We've already seen enough photos to engender lots of anti-American sentiments.

2. Obama refuses to release other photos saying they will make things worse.

Ergo: The photos we're not seeing must be worse.

If I were someone inclined to have anti-American feelings, this is what I would conclude. So, I don't really need to see the photos to make me angrier.

Imagine that someone has shown you photos of your spouse or significant other having oral, anal and vaginal sex with your neighbors and a close relative in a orgy at your church. Then, they tell you they have other pictures, but they're not going to show them to you, because they're afraid they would piss you off. What are you going to think? Right.
