Obama will be an accessory to the BushCo.* crimes unless he stops trying to block the evidence
of them from coming out. Sorry, but it's as simple as that.

Everyone knows that the whole "endangering the troops" thing is BS.

"Justice is not done yet," Asst. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald told jurors. "Each of you will be convinced in the end that the only just punishment that does justice for the victims is the death penalty."

2. What good will occur if more photographs are put out on TV?
We all know bad things happened at Abui Graib. The only thing
that could happen is Muslims all around the world take to the
streets screaming Down with America. The Iraqis and Afganis
decide to slit some soldiers' throats and a few public beheadings.

Obama has worked hard around the world trying to improve our
Image.

In our Irrational Rage with GWB we are willing to put our troops
in danger and and set back Obama's Presidency.

Seeing the pictures is not going to tell me one thing I do not
already know. Most Americans feel this way, I believe.

It took courage for Pres Obama to do this. Let us not be so
hard on him.

3. It is a matter of upholding the LAW
A Federal Judge ruled they MUST be released. Obama is disobeying a Federal ruling at the moment. I understand he is "appealing" the ruling but he still is not honering the Judge's ruling.

4. It took COURAGE to suppress the truth and the prosecution of war crimes???
Too bad Nuremburg didn't have that kind of "courage". Maybe the SS murderers would still be amongst us today.

6. Publication would be a counter balance to Cheney's propaganda
and the enabling corporate media. Do you realize there are few anti-torture voices being presented on TV, in the print media, and on radio? The pro-torture PR campaign is in overdrive and it is working. The most recent polls show that 50% of U.S. citizens support torture as a necessary evil. That is totally fucked up and belies your claim that most Americans feel like you. Every single American needs to face up to the horrors of what was done in our name.

At the beginning of this month, the U.S. massacred 140 civilians, 93 of them children, in air-strikes in Afghanistan. Afghanis are already marching in the streets calling the U.S. "the biggest terrorist." We occupy Iraq, we are waging war in Afghanistan, and sending drones into Pakistan. The troops are already in danger.

7. My Gaud. You are defending torture.

You are on the side of the torturers. Those who cause excruciating pain and death. And you are defending it just because Obama is obstructing the law.

11. Irrational Rage with GWB
Really...is that what it is? We're irrational that the man who stole two elections, ignored warnings of a terrorist attack, let people drown in New Orleans while he ate cake (literally), spied on us and lied to us about it when caught, outed a covert CIA agent for political purposes, politicized the justice department, tortured people and lied about that, stripped us of our liberties and rights, started a war based on lies that has killed thousands of innocent troops and untold numbers of innocent civilians, ruined America's reputation, ruined America's economy, shipped jobs overseas faster than you can blink your eyes, stole from America's taxpayers to pad his cronies' bank accounts, and untold other horrors we've yet to learn about?

Irrational rage? Really?? :wtf:

9. Yep. You got that right.

We've lost our honor. Who gives a fuck if our economy gets back on track (it won't, sad to say) if we have this shit hanging over our heads. I think President Obama is too good a man to have 'He covered for Bush and Cheney's war crimes' hanging over his head in the history books. I'm waiting for him to break out of the cardboard mold. Do it! I think he just might.
