New 'Prisoner Abuse' Photographs Emerge Despite US Bid to Block Publication
....

To Obama and everybody else -

"Assume you're going to be outed and act accordingly."

The only way something can be completely covered up is either if everyone who knows about it or could possibly know about it approves of it, or if there is nobody left to tell the tale, which in the last analysis means the person who kills the last witness then commits suicide.

There's no context provided with those pictures, and hence no sensible conclusions can be drawn.

[The Grey Badger]

Even so. The minute Obama said that releasing the pictures would be inflammatory, I'll bet a lot of people's imaginations supplied scenarios possibly far worse than what actually took place. In his shoes I'd come clean and say "This was done before I got here and I will clean up this mess." I'm sure he's capable of it it he weren't walking so softly and catfooted amongst all the factions in the nation.

protagonist,
You are - definitely - just kidding...?

1. If that is NOT a joke - I really distrust your good will and honesty.
2. If you further insist on your "honesty" AND stay behind what you asked - I really distrust your intelligence and all further discussions with you are redundant.

"At least one picture shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another is said to show a male translator raping a male detainee."

P.S. I put my comments here, rather more nicely phrased, on the comments section of the White House blog. Whether anyone pays any heed or not, I have no idea.

Dear Pat,

P.S. I put my comments ... on the comments section of the White House blog.

You're truly a Gen-Xer at heart!

Considering what you've said about Xers, I think I'd better stick my finger in my mouth and run off crying, but, thanks. I think.

These pictures present the true face of American people, they are cruel beasts and there is not even a bit of humanity in them.They must be condemned and they are sole responsible nation in the world who is ruining the peace most effectively but behold people.....you will see USA in ruins very very soon and there is no other fate of USA but total annihilation.
