Was Obama right to block prisoner abuse photos?

- Do you think President Obama made the right decision to block the release of prisoner abuse photos from Afghanistan and Iraq?

- Critics say that Obamas reversal is going against his promise of transparency in the White House. Do you agree?

- If these photos were released, would you want to see them?

The current administration is more transparent? Does anyone even know all of what was in the omnibus spending bill yet. WTF! Transparent as pea soup fog maybe.

[abarzilai664]

So do you support his decision?

[ice9001]

yeh about as transparent as guiness fuck the apathy in the world today has gone beyond a joke was nothing learned from the last 8 years . When will Americans learn that their Pres is not God he is just another slippery polotician willing to do anything to keep his job and serve monitary intersts that do not benefit the common people .

Why Netanyahu? Who benefits? What becomes the sequence of events afterwards?

Thanks for the response.

From who...Rockefeller or Sir Evelyn de Rothchild...?

[marinello6]

Just have the C.I.A. take him out. He will eventually take a bullet by orders from David Rockefeller.

yeh so what if everyone sees them then whats next, are we all going to rush into the white hose and make a freaking ridiculous decision. Come on get your heads on the right way round. perhaps this: move on people and let the Obama administration exercise discretion if they must. At the end of the day, whats happened has happened so we all should already have a picture of the outcome of this case.Dont drive everyone nuts with this shit.

how can photos put american troops at an increased risk? do you think these enemy combatants dont already know about the torture? photo's arent going to change their minds about anything. so can anybody guess as to the real reason for not releasing the photos?

[DecepticonLeader]

If these pictures instigate such agression on the troops and against the administration then maybe that tells us something about why these soldiers shouldn't act the way they do. Also that would be similar to the way Karma works. If you hurt somebody you will get hurt in return, I would say thats very fitting for people who torture defenseless prisoners.

Before electron I like Obama's speech. But Now, I understand, talking does not mean Action. He need to work on freedom of press, cilivil libarty. May be this photos shows another Abu Garib presion torture screen, Who knows!!! Top Army official will not be investigated and can hide it in the name of Anti -American sentiment and war on terror.

Releaseing the photos may reveal another Abu Garib prison!!!

Obama can not ban Youtube, it contain lots of abu Garib prison picture.

Once America gets out of Iraq, free press in Iraq will find thousands.

[oilhammer04]

That would be because there wouldn't be anything to find.
