New York Post

The $328,835 snapshots of an Air Force One backup plane buzzing lower Manhattan last week will not be shown to the public, the White House said yesterday.

...

The sole purpose of the secret photo-op, which sent thousands of New Yorkers running for cover, was to take new publicity shots of the presidential jet over the city.

So the administration freaks out New York, and we won't even get an updated stock photo of Air Force One around the Statue of Liberty! I guess we'll have to make do with the old stock photography.

This is a sad day for America.

The photos have not technically been "classified," a White House aide said, but they are being kept from public view.

Well then I would think that technically, the photos might be subject to a Freedom of Information Act request.

But don't worry, just because the brilliant minds behind this fiasco are also taking control of the financial system plus AIG, GM, and Chrysler doesn't mean they will screw that up as well!

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
