if this isn't torture we'd hate to piss them off

via newshoggers, we go to george washington's blog to see some of the pictures the obama adminstration doesn't want the world to see...

(warning! not at all pleasant viewing!!!):

(seriously! not safe for work or children or anyone w/a sense of humanity!!!):

newshoggers tells us:

i discovered today that some of the "unsensational" photos obama doesn't want released appeared in the sidney morning herald three years ago.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/photos-us-doesnt-want-seen/2006/02/14/1139890737099.html

(click on "related coverage" for photo gallery. 15 pics in all.)

obama just flat-ass lied about the pics being "unsensational". one shows cigarette burns on a detainees back and ass, another has a man with "im a papeist" (sic) written on his thigh in the foreground while two others are naked and hooded. most show detainees who are bloody, battered and burned.

this puts jack bauer in a totally new light...

There needs to be a special prosecutor appointed to investigate this shit...
I think President Obama is getting made to look a fool here by the military-industrial complex..
He certainly wouldn't be the first...

Skippy...I know I have seen a couple of those photos before...so they are not in the group that is being withheld .....how could they be???
And I am wondering "WHY" a person would write on a detainee in english ???
To what purpose???
Dude,..I'm not saying that these are not criminal acts...I think that there is no POSSIBLE other way to describe, define, delineate, illustrate or whatever these photos of those horrendous acts...
BUT President Obama did NOT order them to be made, or the actions performed... That was all on the Bush Crime Family...
Is the President Now saying to withhold many OTHER photos?? Yes...and I am angry about that as well as you...but what do we not know??
IF we were talking GOP government..the answer would be.."Everything"....with this administration....I have to wonder for now and THAT is FRUSTRATING AS HELL !!!
Especially since it is playing along with the GOP and the Military Higher Ups that clearly do not want these released...

I agree, Essaress. The whole thing disgusts me.

I wonder who changed Obama's mind for him. It's all so very disappointing and I feel like I've been had. Makes me sick.

I think Obama may have gotten the same "You will atone" speech Howard Beale got in "Network"...

I know I posted that one of Graining punching the detainees years ago.

Oh, they were on the web as well. I thought he was only blocking Gitmo pics, not Abu Ghraib. The Memory Hold had most of the ones that leaked out, as well. Wish Obama would quit moving toward the Republican immorality.
