Obama seeks to block release of abuse photos No more airing the dirty laundry? The move represented a sharp reversal from Obama's repeated pledges for open government, and in particular from his promise to be forthcoming with information that courts have ruled should be publicly available. |

Yeah, I just saw that. My initial reaction is not favorable. I want to hear his rationale. |

What's the rationale for showing them, other than to provide fodder for every jihad recruiter? |

Good decision - even if a flip. In or after previous wars, we have put all kinds of things away for 50 or 100 years. If at all possible, that would be appropriate - little good served in throwing fuel on fires. These photos are used on anti-US websites in regions of the world where we could use more friends. A billion dollars for schools and infrastructure can be undone by these photos. |

Kudos to Obama. I won't use this to disparage him. He made a good decision and I applaud him for that. |

I listened to a little of the press briefing, and the after comments. The suspicion is that the military and CIA persuaded him to change his mind. A good thing in any case. |

I suspect Congress will not be far behind now that Nancy's behind is also on the firing line. It is a good decision by Obama, all things being what they are today, but he never should have let it get this far. He needs to start applying the muscle he has shown the business community to Congress. He's the leader of the party and needs to act like it. |

I suppose that in the end it is most important that he does the right thing, even if he is either too stupid to have realized that Bush's policies really were best for the country, or he is just a machinating liar who realized that but needed any lie possible to get elected. |

Beware the beast Leftist, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death. |
