| Poll question: What is the reason you think Obama decided against releasing the photos? |
|
Does anyone really think President Obama has nefarious reasons for not releasing the abuse photos? Seems so! Apparently a sizable portion of people on DU think the president is not telling the truth and that he has some secret, hidden agenda. So, just why is Obama not releasing the photos at this time?

:sarcasm:
He is trying to protect the venerable
right of Presidents to declare that
"If THEY do it, it's not illegal."
Prosecuting the previous admin is
TABOO.

| 8. The pictures are a hole card. |
|
Somebody gave him what he really wanted in exchange for not releasing them.
They're a good hole card too. He can threaten to release them later in the same way.
I suspect our President is an effective politician.

I'm going to be watching for some military/CIA agenda item to unexpectedly go his way in the near future.

| 9. There is nothing so sweet as the taste of forbidden fruit. |

Withholding the photos might result in an overwhelming uproar to produce them. Couple this with more information coming out about who ordered what and when and we just might be on the road to widespread public demand for prosecution....successful prosecution with irrefutable proof.

| 11. Cause so many captured insurgents said they joined up because of Abu Grave and |
|
he'd rather take the flak at home for not publishing them than deal with a new round of insurgents signing up with al Qaeda.
