Whooomp, There It Is

In a dramatic, high-profile reversal for his young administration, President Barack Obama is seeking to block the release of 44 photographs depicting abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“The publication of these photos would not add any additional benefit to our understanding of what was carried out in the past by small number of individuals,” the president told reporters Wednesday as he left the White House on a two-day trip to the Southwest.

[...]

And, he added, distribution of the photos could also have a “chilling effect on future investigations of detainee abuse.”

How’s that? And how about the chilling effect on future decisions of the Justice Department by him publicly pissing on their decisions?


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
