Fox News is reporting that Obama now wants to block the release of detainee abuse photographs taken in Iraq and Afghanistan. The ACLU filed suit to have the photographs released and the Pentagon was about to comply with court orders. Obama met with his legal team to tell them that he does not feel comfortable with the release of those photographs because he believes it could endanger our troops and that the national security implications of releasing the photographs have not been fully presented to the court. At the end of the meeting, Obama directed his legal counsel to object to the immedate release of the photographs on those grounds.

He's always stopped just short of telling us to GFOurselves, and he'd be force to actually say it.
Not yet ... the loop has not been fully cinched on America.
“Hence, the quick back flip. They are looking after their own skin now.”
Now is the time for Republicans to attack. Keep putting pressure on Pelosi, Frank, Dodd, Conyers, Murtha..... Force them to keep making statements in the press.
Obama is sending 21,000 troops to Afghanistan. Keep playing their statements during the Bush years and how Obama is like Bush.
Hold on just a goldarned minute. I thought the meme from the White House was that Obama personally studied and wrestled over this issue for WEEKS before reaching the decision that the photos should be released.
So, what they’re saying now is that all that studying and wrestling didn’t take into account the potential harm that could be done to our men and women in theatre?
Apparently, when Obama studies an issue real hard, he fails to consider everything involved before reaching a decision. That certainly explains his extremely poor decision making skills, doesn’t it?
You don't piss off spooks that have toys James Bond never had.
Fox News correspondent Catherine Herridge reports that her contacts say the core group of 44 detainee photos that the ACLU seeks to have released are not as repugnant as the Abu Ghraib photos.
He's nuanced...

Well, who knows? Perhaps the pictures will still be released, since he set the wheels in motion, but now he can pose as having done it reluctantly.

So much for *transparency*...
A bunch of talking heads are gonna suffer whiplash injuries from the sudden about-face though...
More than one.
They’re having a tough time with reality setting in.
Ahhh... No impact so don't release them. The promise of what they might show outstrips the reality. Therefore, hold them back and continue talking about how horribly the big bad Bush administration tortured poor captured detainees.
