Lawmakers Urge Obama to Fight Release of Photos of U.S. Detainee Abuse - Political News - FOXNews.com

Lawmakers Urge Obama to Fight Release of Photos of U.S. Detainee Abuse - Political News - FOXNews.com: "Some lawmakers are questioning the wisdom of releasing hundreds of photos potentially showing U.S. military personnel abusing prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.

'If we release the pictures, the odds are that Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups will then use our pictures to recruit people to come into the war against us,' Sen. Joe Lieberman. I-Conn., told FOX News."

What horrible reasoning. People aren't upset by the photos but the actions. Keeping them secret destroys our integrity.
