PRISONER ABUSE

The Obama administration asked a federal court of appeals in New York on Thursday to recall its order requiring the release of photographs held by the Pentagon that depict the abuse of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan.

President Obama, while describing the 21 photos as "not particularly sensational, especially when compared to the painful images that we remember from Abu Ghraib," said their release would "further inflame anti-American opinion" and "put our troops in danger."

The administration had initially agreed to the release, but it reversed its position after Obama viewed the images and heard from his generals, who objected to their publication.

1. If those photos are bad enough to put our troops in danger

Then, they are worthy of use to bring charges on the Bush cabal criminals and all involved.

2. I agree. nt

3. If they are "not particularly sensational," Why Not

Release them? Since it's just more of the same, it shouldn't "further inflame anti-American opinion" and "put our troops in danger."
I read, and reread the Robert Gibbs news release and couldn't work out the maze he was wandering through, made my head hurt.
