Citizens For Legitimate Government 17 Jun 2009 http://www.legitgov.org/ Breaking: Senate OKs bill to keep detainee abuse photos private --If Congress doesn't keep pictures private, White House will, senator says 17 Jun 2009 The Senate Wednesday passed by unanimous consent a bill that would prevent the release of controversial photos of alleged U.S. abuse of prisoners and detainees. The bill, sponsored by Sens. Joe Lieberman, R-Israel, and Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, had originally been part of the war funding supplemental bill passed Tuesday by the House. But House Democrats stripped that part of the measure from the bill, and the senators proposed it as stand-alone legislation. Earlier Wednesday, Graham said at a Judiciary Committee hearing that he had received assurance from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel "that the president will not let these photos see the light of day." [CLG is willing to publish them. All-around hypocrite -- Joe LieberBush -- doesn't decide what should or shouldn't see the light of day (while condemning Iran for blocking text messages and Tweets of anti-government demonstrations), in an effort to hide evidence of US abuse/torture of prisoners and other war crimes. --LRP] http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/06/17/detainee.photos/ Those who wish to be added to the list can go here: http://www.legitgov.org/#subscribe_clg and add your name. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ShadowGovernment" group.
