OZ TV AIRS NEW TORTURE PHOTOS
DRUDGE linked to UK Mail ^ | 15 MAY 09 | David Gardner

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.

I’m sorry...I find it hard to believe the U.S. military would issue Martha Stewart sheets. These are not legit. I’ll bet they’re from some frat party.

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

So now we're making terrorists perform scenes from bad movies?

I wouldn't put it past these bastards to put a pair of underwear on his head.

If hamsters were involved, some people might consider it torture.

But not Richard, I suspect.

I KNEW that Obama would find a way to get those photos leaked.

Anyone who didn't know it isn't paying attention. This was the obvious play from the get-go.

Yep. We all knew it would happen, just not the venue.

That’s what it looks like to me, a guy performing yoga exercises or doing a headstand. What torture?

Me too. It's much worse than the underwear on the head torture. This is what THAT looks like (WARNING: GRAPHIC).
