President Barack Obama was today accused of a major U-turn after he decided to keep the controversial military commissions set up by George Bush to prosecute terror suspects.

The surprise White House announcement reversed Mr Obama’s campaign pledge to rely on America’s conventional criminal court system.

It was the president’s second U-turn this week after he changed his mind and pledged to try and block the court-ordered release of damning photographs showing US soldiers abusing prisoners. Last night’s move led to an outcry from shocked human rights campaigners who thought Mr Obama intended to dismantle the terror tribunals after calling them ‘an enormous failure’ during last year’s presidential campaign.

In one of his first acts as president, Mr Obama obtained a 120-day suspension of the military commissions established at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba that was seen as the death knell for one of the Bush administration’s key platforms in the war on terror.

Article doesn't match header...but I KNEW that Obama would find a way to get those photos leaked. ANYTHING for him to destroy America. I DO question his patriotism. I do think that he could care less if American soldiers get attacked/killed as long as he moves forward with his "vision" of "change".

Back in 2001, 2002 and thereabouts, REAL Americans all wanted to torture those pukes.

Anyone tells you they didn't, is telling you a lie.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Is it the pink sheets that is the torture? Because I have woke up hanging over the bed like that several times.

What they don't show is that the guy is wearing inversion boots, like Richard Gere in "American Gigolo."

[Roos_Girl]

I still want to.

The Daily Mail link is dead,,,,someone must be getting his/her ass served on a platter.............

The jury is not in on this, but it does raise suspicion about why Rosa the reporter was appointed to the high Pentagon position..........eh?

[GOP Poet]

No more florals or I’ll call the ACLU. They make me crazy I tell ya. KA-RAA-ZEE! If I see them again I will leak the photos.

I don’t know - this coud be fake. The guy could be doing sit-ups ;-)

Pink bedspreads??? Now there’s torture.. Maybe it’s covered in ‘Miss Piggy’s”

That pic, along with others,can be found here. Judging by the date in the link, they were published in an Australian newspaper in Feb of 2006, so I don't understand how they could possibly be the same pics that are being withheld. I found this info on DU yesterday and dismissed it as irrelevant due to the date.

[pgkdan]

Damn right. I wanted to do it myself. Still do.

[lewisglad]

lol!

[Northern Yankee]

Looks like typical dorm life on a Friday night.

[PoolQue]

he could care less...

he couldn't care less... There - fixed it for you ;0)

[ChiMark]

Some conservatives still don’t understand that Obama
is truth impaired.

Medved, McCain et.al. willing idiots.
