Obama reneges on pledge to release prisoner abuse pics Los Angeles Times "The Obama administration changed direction today, announcing that it would oppose the release of photographs showing the alleged abuse of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. The administration this month had agreed to release dozens of the photographs, but reversed course after top military officials said they were concerned that the photos could put U.S. troops in jeopardy, particularly in Afghanistan. ... The reversal was criticized by the American Civil Liberties Union. The move violated the promise of openness that the Obama administration has pledged, the group charged." (05/13/09)
