It's becoming clear that Obama has little control over those around him.

Daily Mail has a couple of these pics up on thier site. Have I seen them before in the Abu Ghraib affair? Are the "New" pics the same as the OLD pics?

Here comes the excrement-storm, folks...

[peace with honor]

I will NEVER believe he did not want those pictures released

[Taking Congress back in 2010]

The Daily Mail is full of it.

Those are old pictures.

They’re trying to pull a fast one and I’m not biting.

How Islam abuses it's prisoners....















Praise Allah...

The first one looks like a bachelor party I went to once.

That didn’t take long. As soon as Barry began to “back off” on releasing the photos, I knew they’d be “leaked.” That’s his way of doing things: deniability is all.

I'm wondering about this line from the article

The images were released in Australia yesterday where they were originally obtained by the television channel SBS in the wake of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal.

Much as I would love to blame Barry, it sounds like they've had them for a long time.

Gosh, I wonder who leaked 'em? Now the Obamanation has had these leaked, and will say, okay, since some have been leaked *by parties unknown* koff koff, just to clear the air, we'll release all of them.

At least the detainees all have their heads!

" It's becoming clear that Obama has little control over those around him."

No, this is how he wanted it to play out. The pics get published to satisfy his yowling leftist base, yet he gets to adopt a posture of statesmanlike prudence and pretend it didn't happen on his watch.

And we know these pics are authentic "abuse by US troops" because....

Now phony pictures can be “leaked” with no attribution, and Obama can claim plausible deniability.

The Boston Globe once published front-page “torture” pictures that turned out to be from a homosexual BDSM movie or the like.

Nobody will be able to tell, in the coming flood of images, which are real and which are not.

This explains Obama’s apparent flip-flop on the issue, he figured a way to do even more harm in a way that won’t be his fault, it’ll all be above his pay grade.

The single photo published in this article is highly suspicious. The guy who’s hanging upside down naked (the caption breathlessly says “naked” twice; obviously the British reporter was highly impressed) has a neatly trimmed beard, and there are decorative comforters on the bunk bed. This looks more like a frat room scene than any sort of prisoner abuse.

And of course they just couldn’t resist including the classic Abu Ghraib photo of the guy in the pointy hat and poncho and wires. Never a photo of some grinning jihadi holding up Nick Berg’s head, you’ll notice.

. Further images purportedly from the 2,000 include one of a naked man covered in excrement with a guard standing in front of him.

The prisoner almost certainly did this to himself. They are taught as a tactic to smear excrement everywhere.

So what does this picture prove?

NOTHING!

hooded prisoners in transport planes with copies of Playboy magazine showing naked women open on their laps.

Oh, no!!! Not that!!! God help me if anyone ever does that to me. I don't think I could stand that kind of torture.

[drpix]

Someone photoshopped that photo. Here's the original:

ABUSE? It's only a shot of the media's favorite congressman sizing up a prospective room mate.

The real "enhanced techniques" don't begin until he passes mustard.

[A CA Guy]

Who had the agenda to leak them?
It’s espionage to do this IMO.

[woofie]

Here is one of the new pictures of torture that is out floating around the internet

[a fool in paradise]

The leaks are Obambalamadingdong’s way of having plausible deniablity.

Let’s see him prosecute the leakers. tap tap tap...

Further images purportedly from the 2,000 include one of a naked man covered in excrement with a guard standing in front of him.

From what I understand, the imates at Gitmo threw feces at guards a number of times. Is this man smeared in his own body waste as a protest? They also attacked guards a number of times (using "pitiful" ploys for attention).

Such a photo is not necessarily an indication of abuse.

It’s all a shell game. He wants them released and knows they will ultimately be released. But he can play the role of commander in chief and pretend he cares about national security. It’s all a game to him.
