The Department of Defense announced late Thursday that a "substantial number of photos" depicting abuse of prisoners at prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan will be released.
The photos are being released in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in 2004.

Ha Ha! I agree. Send this to everyone.
Least we forget:

This awesome video was made by a New Yorker who lived through 9/11. It should be required viewing by all Americans. It has been viewed by millions. It is considered the ultimate 9/11 video and is now in the Smithsonian.
These are the people that Obama comes from and the people that he is apologizing to.
.
My God-—I am watching again and feel the same horror I felt on 9/11. My pain has not lessened or subsided. I live with it.
As far as I am concerned anyone is entitled to their opinion regarding the Bush Presidency, but it cannot be denied, he kept us safe. For that I say Thank You President Bush.
.
That video never fails to bring tears when I watch it.
It is superbly done, and the background music, ‘Only Time’
by Anya, couldn’t be more perfect.

leftist don’t want pics of late-term abortions to be seen...I wonder if leftist would
favor a “late term” abortion on Achmed or Hussein?
They really are. It’s frightening that Whats-his-face’s junta will allow this. Do they hate us THAT MUCH that they are willing to set our military up that way?
We should start working on the paperwork so that we can haul his nasty ass into court on January 21, 2012.
Precisely. They must be scared to death of the next round of tea parties. The question that I have is will that new Hate Crime Act (when signed into law by Whats-his-face) have an impact on us regarding coming out with certain signs? Does anyone know?
Photos of our fellow Americans jumping from the Twin Towers need to be put up on billboards May 28.
Then let him eat shi’ite. Interrogate the jihad vermin in the field and then let the desert sands claim them..
Those pictures give Pres. Damien pleasure..
Just show the Danny Perl beheading tape everytime they show a ‘torture’ photo.
The only thing that liberals know how to do is whine about Bush. They won’t give that up because they don’t have any other talents.
they gonna photoshop them like they did obama’s birth certificate?
Yeah, this will REALLY help progress towards the future, and change the ‘hearts and minds’ of the world...
Maybe they should release these photos side by side with the women, men and children town wiped out by Saddam and Chemical Ali?
These people are NOT interested in making or keeping America strong. They are systematically working to destroy it completely.
They are painting our armed forces as terrorists (even before they’ve come back home - like the DHS report does). They say “returning vets from Iraq are a threat”, then push forward still photos — when honestly there is probably a chance that some of the injuries we’ll see are the result of the firefight they were captured after... (I’m reminded that if any of these photos are “close-ups”, or don’t include the head — how can anyone be absolutely positive they are injuries all on the same person...).
And, besides... What these leftists don’t understand is there ARE cases in which torture is acceptable (I wouldn’t know what those were, but I’m not a military interrogator).
All JMHO - but this idea on its face is just a bad idea. Even if there wer mistakes made - what is the use of putting these photos on public display except to foment anger and hatred towards our troops? Undue torture, which could pass into assault can be tried WITHOUT the court of public opinion, and SHOULD be tried by the military...
It reminds me of what they’ve done with the Birth Certificate cases (Like the one judge who said, Bloggers, Factcheck & Twitter already ‘decided’ this case was “bogus” — IOW The court of public opinion has decided I shouldn’t have to hear this case — and it also reminds me of the Haditha Marines who were also tried in public before ever facing a judge.
If one take all the proposals about our military budget, the reduction in weapons stockpiles, as well as shelving of some military production/research projects, healthcare cuts through the VA, a DHS agency naming Vets as terrorists, and now they are going to push more and more of the this kind of propaganda to smear ANYONE who was ‘over there’.
Now, I was too young to know what was going on back then (born in ‘72), but this seems like the type of propaganda they pushed that led to our brave soldiers (many/most of whom were draftees), being spit on and called, ‘baby killlers’.
****
If it weren’t so distateful, and IMHO ‘direspectful’ or hurtful to their family members — perhaps someone should release the graphic photos of what these terrorist monsters did to OUR soldiers, and INNNOCENT womena and children ala Al Qaeda’s torture manual (showing the public part of that book might give them a clue as well. If somehow someone could obtain permission from the families, perhaps seeing those photos side-by-side may put things in a more honest light?
****
This attack on our military is really making me sick - and more and more family members of mine (even some who stupidly voted Dem) are starting to get really offended by all the anti-Vet propaganda. At least among members of my family we KNOW the sacrifice - the ULTIMATE PRICE - that some soldiers make for their country, and for freedom from oppression.
I honestly don’t think these liberals (or at least the supporters of these groups and actions) realize how many families here in the U.S. have ancestors whose blood was spilled here in America fighting for Indpendance, or relatives whose blood was spilled in the Pacific, or in the fields of Germany. We honor our family members, and are eternally grateful for the sacrifices the soldiers, AND all of their family members face daily.
This is uncalled for BS.
What bothers me the most about Obama and his ilk is the fact that they are arrogantly superior.
They believe they are ABOVE others.
What a lot of them simply do not understand or refuse to understand is that when fighting the enemy, you have to sink to their level. Anything less spells defeat or stalemate.
These pictures will not show "what America is".....
.....These pictures will show what America (was) willing to do to defeat the enemy.
The pictures only have power because the enemy knows Obama will not have the balls to do the same. They serve to embolden the enemy to come at us again.
In the real (non-Obama) world, the pictures would actually serve to show the enemy not to screw with us.
I think it’s Doughty One who has the long list of Muslim terror attacks.
No, I’m afraid it isn’t me. Sorry. I’ll see if I can find it.
