"The US government felt that it was better that the photographs not be released, not because that there was anything to hide,­ but simply, that one, that we felt that it was an invasion of the detainees themselves to have these photographs come out and in addition it would simply fan the flames around the world and cause potentially further violence. "

He doesn't think there was anything to hide? If there is nothing to hide, why would they fan the flames around the world and cause further violence?
