Obama To Release 2000 Pics Of Prisoner Abuse

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This is the very thing that many of us find absolutely revolting about our President. After writing today about imploring the president to offer proof to the world with the OBL death pictures and finding out that he refuses to do so because he doesn’t want to cause a backlash within the Muslim world, we find out that instead he is releasing up to 2,000 pictures of prisoner abuse from 2001-2005, similar to that of Abu Ghraib.  This is a flashback article from 2009 but should be sufficient in making the point that clearly the interest of the safety of our troops and the backlash of the Muslim world is certainly not always his priority.  So, we can release 2,000 pictures but not 1 death photo of OBL?

The decision to make public the images sought in a legal action by the American Civil Liberties Union comes amid a political firestorm over alleged torture of detainees under President George W. Bush.

Some of the photographs, which will be released before May 28, are said to show American service personnel humiliating prisoners, according to officials.

The images relate to more than 400 separate cases involving alleged prisoner abuse between 2001 and 2005….

The Pentagon fears a backlash in the Middle East similar to the one provoked by pictures from Abu Ghraib prison, near Baghdad, in 2004 which became emblematic of American mistakes in Iraq.

Amrit Singh, an ACLU lawyer, said that “these photographs provide visual proof that prisoner abuse by US personnel was not aberrational but widespread, reaching far beyond the walls of Abu Ghraib”.

The Bush administration had resisted releasing the images to the public, contending that the disclosure would fuel anti-American feeling and violate US obligations towards prisoners under the Geneva Conventions. Several people have already been tried at courts martial for using guns to threaten detainees in cases connected to the photographs.

Have we lost our (insert word of choice) minds?
