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)
