Flashback: Obama Orders Release of 2,000 Photos of Alleged Prisoner Abuse by American Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan…
He certainly didn’t have a problem making American soldiers look bad.
(Telegraph 4/24/2009) — President Barack Obama is to release up to 2,000 photographs of alleged abuse at American prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan in a move which will reignite the scandal surrounding Abu Ghraib prison in 2004.
The decision to make public the images sought in a legal action by the American Civil Liberties Union comes amid a political firestorm over alleged torture of detainees under President George W. Bush.
Some of the photographs, which will be released before May 28, are said to show American service personnel humiliating prisoners, according to officials.
The images relate to more than 400 separate cases involving alleged prisoner abuse between 2001 and 2005.
Descriptions of some of the alleged abuse photographs include:
- A prisoner pushed up against a wall as military guards or interrogators appear to threaten to sexually assault him with a broomstick
- Female soldiers posing with hooded, shackled prisoners who were stripped naked
- Hooded prisoners on transport planes with Playboy magazines opened to pictures of nude women on their laps The administration initially planned to release only the 21 photos sought by the ACLU, but General David Petraeus ordered that all 2,000 photographs be released to keep from “dragging this issue out forever”.

Odumbo likes to eat his cake…but the Wookie eats everyone elses
It’s o.k. to release photos that will inflame the muslim world……except when it’s not.
I guess you could say Obama has a problem with releasing photos that make our troops look victorious.
This MFer……. Can America hang on till 2012? Frankly I do not know….
One standard for Americans. A totally different standard for people we call “enemy”.
He’s applying affirmative action on a world wide scale.
.
The government will get slammed with another FOIA… for OBL death pics
as Odumbo found out the last time
once the ball starts rolling…its hard to stop
He’d prosecute the SEALs involved in the raid for using “excessive force” if he could get away with it.
The killing occurred during Obama’s watch. Big deal! Giving him credit for it is like giving Truman credit for VE Day after Churchill, FDR, Stalin, and their troops had done all the dirty work against Hitler.
If BO deserves credit for this kill, then Andrew Johnson deserves credit for saving the Union and destroying slavery. The day Lincoln died, General Johnston’s Confederate Army of Tennessee was still in the field, as were General Kirby Smith’s Trans-Missssippi forces. Pitched battles continued through July 1865, and the 13th Amendment wasn’t passed until Reconstruction, during JOHNSON’s presidency.
He just doesn’t want to see his Muslim homies look bad.
the brown turd is a idiot and to dumb to realize it.
He doesn’t want to inflame the Muslims? OBL isn’t a trophy??? Bet me he isn’t…
Remember the American contractors that were grabbed, killed, their bodies mutilated, burned and then hung from the bridge for all to see? Google it if you don’t.
The name Daniel Pearl ring a bell???
Just show the pics to show those jerks we mean business, I double-dog dare you. Unless of course you are a bigger chicken than we already think you are… bwak bwak
..but, but.. we’re told that UBL “hijacked” a peaceful and noble religion! He was not, repeat not a real muslim leader, right CAIR, et al? So why on earth would news of the death of one of the greatest hijackers of the Religion of Peace (TM) not be cause for celebration among true muslims? Right? Where’s the celebration candy being passed out? I want some!
Oh and 9/11 had nothing, repeat nothing at all to do with Islam! Lol..
Obama: It’s totally o.k. to release photos that would inflame the muslim world………..except when it’s not.
If I didn’t know any better I’d say he is the one outraged by all of this. Looks like somebody forgot to tell Obama that DEVGRU more than likely wasn’t going to fly Bin-Laden all of the way to Club Fed first class.
The only good thing that has happened during his reign of error, and he is going to fuck that up too.
We have just received official conformation that Obama is indeed Muslim. That is the only way I can read this action.
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction”. He sure does not stand with America.
I’m with you Rocketman, I don’t know if we can hang on till 2012! We have very few on our side politicaly, or so it seems! R’s with no spine,guts, or balls does help the cause of freedom! I don’t think we could have a bigger POS at the helm!!!
This man…the whole administration….is OUT.RAGE.OUS. Someone has to take charge and reel it in.

I’d bet that him and Holder are both thinking about it right now.
The objective of war is to DEMORALIZE the enemy. Hussein is on their side. He’s only for demoralizing US troops.
In the digital age, all photos (jpegs) become public domain. Osama been Laden will soon be my screen saver.
Good Point.
Zero’s revenge for the last election was to take nude photos of you and your family, or sexually assault you, at US airports:

Never underestimate Zero’s capacity for lying and evil.
He is his Brotherhood’s keeper.
