I don't know about ya'll but, I'm reading in here there could still prisoner abuse going on.

Could, not releasing condeming photos be construed as a cover-up?

Or, am I reading something that's not there?

House votes against release of any more photos of U.S personnel abusing detainees overseas

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is backing the Obama administration's refusal to release new photos showing U.S. personnel abusing detainees held overseas.

The 258-163 vote also put lawmakers on record in favor of making sure detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison do not get immigration benefits.

President Barack Obama has already said he would use every available means to block release of additional detainee abuse photos because they could whip up anti-American sentiment overseas and endanger U.S. troops. His powers include issuing an order to classify the photos, thus blocking their release.

The vote came on a nonbinding motion regarding the homeland security spending bill.

The truth should be shown to the people . when you hide the truth from your people you are not representing them you are deceiving them . Politics is full of lies and propaganda and it is getting worse by the minute . All men and women of the world should not be denied reality as it is and it does not matter how this reality is awful and annoying .

The libs will either deny or back up the decision to black-out the news.
