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.

Rush just mentioned this headline. You HAVE to know he has a FReeper account and scans posts/threads during the day.
BUMP
I lol’d at Rush’s comment that maybe if they had put underwear on Osama’s head, Obama would have agreed to release the photos...
HMMM? Since the reason for not releasing the Bin Laden photos are about not inflaming the arab street this seems to really to fly in the face of that!
LOL! Now that you mention it - YES!
Good show, Oldeconomybuyer.
Some people need some memory. You do remember Eric Holder threatening to prosecute people (as far as the previous administration)...don't you?
It’s a Flashback. Obama on photos then and now.
I know its a flashback but some folks didn’t get it so it should have been labeled “Flashback” by the op.
