Can I guess that it’s more because it shows that no real torture went on?
Obama is a bully. Like any bully, if you stand up to him, he will generally back down.
Of course, we’ll never know ‘cause THE SPINELESS REPUBS DON’T STAND UP TO HIM.
thank you Dick Cheney for standing up and forcing Zero to do the right thing!
Good move.
he was for the release of these photos before he was against it...classic...what a magnificent statesman (sarc)
I have the feeling that, like the “torture memos”, he was the ONLY one for it and started feeling a little insecure about the consequences. Like maybe having the CIA and DoD interrogators quit or go into passive work stop
Apprently now the big stink is that “O” told advisors last week that the photos were not to be released. Why the delay? WH presser to start in 30 minutes. Should be good.
shows how wrong his initial instincts always are
“”But the president strongly believes that the release of these photos, particularly at this time, would only serve the purpose of inflaming the theaters of war, jeopardizing US forces, and making our job more difficult in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.” WELL DUH.......haven’t we been saying that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, just by talking about them, some damage has been done, all in his plan to trash America, its military, our missions in two theaters, and the Bush Administration, ie, all patriots.
The list, ping
silly you..don’t you know that when conservatives say something we’re right wing, gun totin, bible thumping nuts BUT when a liberal says the same thing they’re enlightened, thoughtful and thorough??
didn’t you get the memo?
This throws a huge wrench in the works to their evil plan to hold Stalinistic show trials against former Bush Administration officials for "war crimes."
Democrats could be charged now under their own rules.
Hence, the quick back flip. They are looking after their own skin now.
Would you be able to recognize the detainees from the photos if they get turned loose in your neighborhood?
Focus groups have reported. Instead, the photos will just be leaked to satisfy BO’s anti-American supporters...
Well, the really important thing is that the Ms. California photos were released, and that’s what really mattered.
But the president strongly believes that the release of these photos, particularly at this time, would only serve the purpose of inflaming the theaters of war, jeopardizing US forces, and making our job more difficult in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
So now HE’s owning Cheney’s point.
Putz!
Another Obozo promise that must have gone beyond its ‘Use By’ date.
