Obama Faces Uphill Battle in Blocking Release of Detainee Photos - Political News - FOXNews.com

Obama Faces Uphill Battle in Blocking Release of Detainee Photos - Political News - FOXNews.com: "'It is essential that these photographs be released so that the public can examine for itself the full scale and scope of prisoner abuse that was conducted in its name.'

Obama defended his decision Wednesday.

'My belief is the publication of these photos would not add any additional benefits to our understanding of what was carried out in the past by a small number of individuals,'�he said in a brief appearance. 'The most direct consequence would be to further inflame anti-American opinion and put our troops in greater danger.'"
How can he claim to know what it best for us. The backlash is caused by the action -- not the evidence of the action. Hiding evidence just reduces credibility.
