Still waiting for the photo of a single dead body from the 9-11 attacks to see print in any American periodical.

Good point.

Why they aren’t dealing with a service wide munity now, I don’t know.

Seriously. You have to wonder if a military coup isn't in our future. We are practically a 3rd world country as it is.

Are they going to release photos of (the far more numerous) late-term abortions Obama protects?

“I agree. My little brother just got to Iraq. My best friend’s son is in Afghanistan and she lost her husband in Iraq. Pray for all our troops abroad in harm’s way.”

“...my husband was severely wounded in Iraq...permanent injuries...”

God bless your husband for his service. Please thank him from me.

Thank God he is home.

It is a very dangerous time for our military serving under this despot who could care less about them.

Obama's probably going to withhold all the pictures where everybody's having fun, like that time the military took a bunch of detainees to Disney World.

This is all about going after Cheney for saying that the water boarding worked. Obama does not care what it could do to his country.

The photos will be released along with an apology by Obama for the crimes against humanity which is America.

If you haven’t noticed, Gates has been going right along with Obama on everything — all you hear is I agree and crickets. Gates has no backbone to stand up and threaten to resign — he would rather bow down to Obama.

Never did like Gates but not I detest the man for giving in to ZERO and his thugs.

>>Five years later these photos are going to be released, conveniently on the heels of zero revealing interrogation techniques. I find this all too convenient, and a setup for President Bush’s officials and lawyers to be sued and/or arrested.<<

Its probably better for Obama to not prosecute - he gets the upside of having exposed the torture and come clean about it (or at least that’s what people will think) but without the messy trial and questions about Democratic complicity.

"In the end, it extended the length of the war because it encouraged the jihadists that the Great Satan HAD invaded. That’s treasonous."

You are so right. I'm convinced that this killed thousands of our troops.....the TRAITOROUS BASTARDS need to be rounded up, quickly tried and then shot Ceausescu style. I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MARXIST SCUMBAGS

Buy guns, and trade them or sell them while you still can.

You need to keep the paperwork, unless you lose it or something. There is no law making you a criminal if you somehow lose the paperwork. Trade them sell them, change hands and forget them. Yes, for now, it is legal.

“Maybe they need to be compared with the “prisoner abuse” from
the other side.....beheadings, hands-fingers-toes-privates being cut off, hangings in the marketplaces, etc.”

You are correct. I hear no talk about Daniel Pearl. He was beheaded but where is the outrage for that crime??? I do not think a 20 to 40 second waterboarding with a doctor in the room is at the same level as beheading.
