Heads up!

Robert Gibbs on CNN now trying to defend Obama's refusal to release photos. FAIL!

[bdamomma]

1. I think there may be two reasons why they don't want to release them.

1. troops
and 2) would cause outrage in the US. aren't we always sanitized from the news.

2. The only people who haven't seen these atrocities are US

citizens. The entire world sees what these wars have done. The reason we don't get to see them is because if we did, the military industrial complex would go broke!

3. Evil fucking Empire

4. that would be a good thing if the industrial complex would go broke.

5. But if all of them were made public,

they would be on the internet and wouldn't there be a call for vengence? I'm thinking I wouldn't want my son serving in the ME when those pix hit the net.

7. Have you ever seen the pictures of the people in Iraq and

Afghanistan who have been wounded/killed in this war? Probably not, because the MSM and the government don't want you to see them.

Check out some of the foreign press sites on the internet. They are full of pictures of men, women, and children who have been blown to bits, burned. Not to mention the children exposed in the womb to depleted uranium who were born with horrible deformities.

I don't believe any of those torture photos could possibly endanger our troops any more than they already are, and I say this as a retired Navy nurse who took care of many wounded sailors and marines during the Viet Nam war.

If we're ever going to stop the warmongering, we, as a people, need to see what we have done.

6. That's some shamely shit right there.

Oh, well. Idol's on tonight.
