Flashback: Obama Administration to Release 2,000 Photos of alleged prisoner abuse
The Telegraph reported on April 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.
Yet not one photo of the deceased islamic terrorist, Usama Bin Laden is to be released per Mr. Obama:
In explaining his choice not to release the photo, Mr. Obama said that “we don’t need to spike the football.” He said that “given the graphic nature of these photos it would create a national security risk.”
Protect the privacy of a dead terrorist and expose our own military to public scrutiny. The duplicity of this administration is astounding.
I guess this means the public won’t be treated to 47 days of New York Times front page images of the compound attack and death of OBL?
Where is Philly Inquirer’s Dan Rubin? He should be screaming from the rooftops to release the photos. Oh wait…it seems he is against posting photos of a deceased terrorist when previously he was for posting photos of deceased American soldiers returning home via Dover Air Force Base. Faithful to the narrative this one is.
