Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham regaled the knowledge to Congress. Have a desire to see some pretty crazy stuff that the U.S. did to imprisoned terror suspects? Possibly just to see if you can take how disturbing these photos are reported to be? Well, good news, kids. You can’t see them. Apparently the Obama administration is going to classify these photos if it prevents them from getting out. He prefers an act of Congress, but isn’t afraid to just block them himself. Good for them. We don’t need to see terror porn. source
If I was looking for something that bordered on truthful news, I’m not entirely sure it’d be in the first pack of clips I’d pick up. You’re not going to find very many of these newspapers and truth within 25 words of each other.
Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs • On British press reports that the blocked Abu Ghraib photos showed graphic scenes of torture and rape. Not to be critical or anything, but the British press – in fact, the very paper you’re criticizing, The Daily Telegraph – did just take down a sitting House of Commons speaker. You should probably give them some credit, Robert. • source
The mere description of these pictures is horrendous enough, take my word for it.
Major General Antonio Taguba • Regarding the photos Obama chose not to release, which show scenes of “torture, abuse, rape and every indecency,” according to the general. We think the world is probably better off without them, kids. • source
