Why is Obama going after Gordon Brown when he is doing the same thing himself?
This is very poorly written. It seems quite hurried and is hard to follow.
While this may or may not be justified, I am leaning very heavily toward the idea that Obama is looking for just about any way to drive a wedge between the U S. and Great Britain. That would be my first inclination here. He sure didn’t mind revealing our secrets via the C. I. A. releases of information.
There's no value in letting the Brits take attention from this white house.
Maybe his strategy is to wait to be “forced” to show the photos, or ...
Maybe he’s hoping that the media and the public’s imaginations will paint images worse than the real ones. Either way, by making a big deal about them and then keeping them from the public, the photos are now forbidden fruit. No one expected to see everything that happens behinds the scenes in a war.
