Challenging Release of Detainee Photos Was President Obama's Idea

Another poor decison and gaffe that the news media will ignore

GIBBS FIBS.

PUHLLLEASE! Obama cannot even string two intelligent or intelligible words together without a teleprompter. Are we really to belive he came up with an idea on his own?

I think not.

What happened to the transparency we heard so much about during the Presidential campaign. Is Obama, little by little, becoming more like Bush? Sterling Greenwood/Aspen Free Press

How about another scenario? Who did Obama promise that he would not prosecute? I guess if you can't look "back", no one would be prosecuted and brought to justice on any crime anywhere in this country. I guess if you can't look back, you will never learn from your mistakes, or even bother to identify them. I guess if you can't see the photos, perhaps you can still suffer under the illusion that a few wayward enlisted folks were responsible. I guess if you are taking counsel from those who do not want scandal and jail time, you are far less than transparent than you promised.

How the hell does AOL get a monopoly of 18% of the country?

Detainee Interrogation Photos Leak
Long suppressed photographs from interrogations conducted in secret CIA facilities have leaked and give a chilling picture of the long term damage caused by the so called enhanced techniques.

Too Many Secrets... Anyone, Bueller?, anyone?

Ok, for you really dim ones out there...

obviously, he saw the pictures, and with the concerns that were voiced by the generals and leaders in our current situations in Iraq and Afghanistan..of course he would keep these photos under wraps...do you not remember what happened after the photos of the enlisted people that were smiling and laughing as they did things to their detainees? Forgot about all the beheadings over that didn't cha?


This is a wise choice, for national security...and that should always be the utmost important thing, our saftey, and the saftey of our enlisted people, no transprancy, when there are lives in danger.


Obama has done the right thing, YET AGAIN...and most of you are too blind from hate and rage to see it.

All I can say is, it must of been some pretty heavy shit...


sometimes, the truth can be too much to take, and most here, are not able to handle the truth, they spend their days turning away from it..

Hi Michelle....been a long time!
I agree with you, releasing this batch of photo's wouldn't do anyone any good.
You know..if he did, they would bitch...if he dosn't, they will bitch.

It's not fun being between a rock and a hard place all the time..but at least he is trying. More than I can say for the rest.
He did the right thing...get over it.
NEXT...

The most interesting part of this is how nuts it's driving the hard left wingers. Keith Olbermann and Rachael Maddow on MSNBC are having hissy fits. Even Jonathan Turley, a constitutional lawyer and a favorite commentator on both shows said Obama has once again said he would do something, then turned around and didn't do as he said. The keyword with Turley was "again". He accused Obama of turning his administration into a copy of the previous administration. Last week, Olbermann goaded John Dean into saying that, if Obama blocked prosecution of people in the Bush administration, Obama was actually committing a criminal act himself. Getting very interesting,

ABSOLUTE embarrasment...want more perspective good read see: http://www.conservatives4palin.com/

I think President Obama's decision was probably the best.

That's Obowma's decision today, but what about tomorrow?

Which ever way the wind is blowing is the way he chooses.
Speaking of wind:
Hi Cube.

I also hear that in addition to it being "a national security issue" (where have we heard that before?), Obama saw it as diverting attention from his "agenda". SO, what has his agenda become? Emerging healthcare "reform" that is far from universal and heavily influenced by the "healthcare" industry, an Iraq-Afghanistan policy that is FAR from what he was saying a year ago to attract and keep his base to eke out his primary "win" and highly influenced by people vested in the Iraq-Afghanistan conflict, and an energy "policy" that is watered down and (again) highly influenced by industry insiders. Plus ... there are other indicators not related to his big policy drives ... the lack of transparency when it comes to public disclosure of really anything, the continuation of the implementation of the self-destructive policy of "don't ask, don't tell", the continuation of federal raids re: marijuana use, the lack of indictments of those in the finance and banking industry, the lack of indictments of those from the Bush Administration (love Cheney's "the best defense is a good offense"; I believe he thinks that if he barks loud enough, there will be no process servers at his door!), and now the FDA, enforcing its notion that the only substance that can improve health or correct a medical condition is a DRUG that has been produced by the pharmies. Remember that one of the two of Obama's favorite Presidents was Reagan; the other was also considered a Republican in his time.

Well, I do not know where he is going with all of this, and perhaps he does not know either. I am just eating my bowl of Cheerios with blueberries on top, and "hoping" for the best!
