Protect/appease our enemies while prosecuting our military. The hypocrisy coming from the Obama White House is amazing. This is the same administration who is <http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/04/obama-administration-urged-drop- cia-probe-light-bin-laden-takedown/> investigating CIA operatives for using the same 'enhanced interrogation techniques' that led to bin Laden's death. Obama refuses to release photographs of Osama bin Laden out of appeasement to the Muslim community but has no issues about releasing photographs that can be used against our military men and women. What gives? From <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/5215068/Barack-Obama- to-release-up-to-2000-photographs-of-prisoner-abuse.html> The Telegraph: 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. Descriptions of some of the alleged abuse photographs include: * A prisoner pushed up against a wall as military guards or interrogators appear to threaten to sexually assault him with a broomstick * Female soldiers posing with hooded, shackled prisoners who were stripped naked * Hooded prisoners on transport planes with Playboy magazines opened to pictures of nude women on their laps The administration initially planned to release only the 21 photos sought by the ACLU, but General David Petraeus ordered that all 2,000 photographs be released to keep from "dragging this issue out forever". 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. Team Obama has no problems releasing photos that can be used to inflame Muslim jihadists but has a problem releasing a photo that Americans have a right to see.
