And so much for transparency.
Pursuant to new powers delegated to him by Congress, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has executed an order blocking the release of photos depicting the torture of detainees.
I bet you’re as surprised as I am.
In a new supplemental brief filed with the high court, the administration's attorneys argue that the new law Congress passed to allow Gates this authority effectively exempts the photos from the Freedom of Information Act, therefore invalidating an earlier lawsuit.
Somebody should leak them.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
