Obama's latest effort to conceal evidence of Bush era crimes

The President's rationale for changing his mind is as incoherent as it is reminiscent of the Bush/Cheney mindset.

in re: "No good will come from releasing these photos"

I'm pretty jaded, but even I'm outraged and saddened by the number of voices being raised in this comment thread supporting the decision to conceal these photos.

"No good will come?" Would we even have had an Abu Ghraib scandal without the pictures of bloody prisoners and men cowering in front of dogs? "No good?" Is there or is there not an active debate in this country about whether or not torture is acceptable? "No good?" Did a United States Senator not say just today, in the Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts, that torture techniques have been used for the past five centuries because "apparently they work?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss-4Ah2G8FE

"No good will come?"

Of all the shitty things Barack Obama has done since becoming president, unleashing you pack of bastards on our country has got to be the worst.
