The President and Detainees: Revise and Embrace
David Axelrod Defends Decision To Block Release Of Detainee Photos
I am mindful of two highly profiled murders and, in my opinion, how reporters got friends and relatives saying the murderers were despondent due to the fact Pres. Obama was going to take away their rights to bare arms.
I present an equally and likely scenario were the President to release the newest torture pictures after his military advisers said releasing the pictures “….would put their troops in harms way”.
- (Through interpreter) We caught your ass just in time, Muhammad. You were going to blow up the police station.
Did you want to get back at America and Pres. Obama for releasing those photos? (Positions hand on gun)
- Yes.
- And are the rest of your cowardly terrorist friends also mad seeing the photos and at Pres. Obama for releasing them?
- Yes.
-And that’s why you want to kill us Americans now. Right? You want to kill us because you saw the pictures President Obama released? Right? (Tightens grip on gun) I said, Right?
-Yes! Right!
-OK. Sign here.
-Are you going to kill me?
-Funny you would ask. (Bang!) You all saw that, right? He tried to take my gun! You guys stay ‘round to clean up this mess. I got to go put this story on the wires. Purple Heart, here. I. come!
As always,

Axelrod, who said that he himself has seen some of the photos although he declined to give his own opinion of them, explained that the president was concerned that the release would harm national security by inflaming passions in the Middle East

Deciding not to release the photos was a good political move. It leaves it in the hands of the court. So if and when the photos come out it will be a decision made by the court. The right wingers will not be able to blame Obama for the release of the photos. But I'm sure they will anyway.

Wait till the troops are out of Afghanistan and Iraq, that shouldn't be much longer, then have your investigations. But at least get our folks out of harms way before you start making their jobs even harder than it already is. I'm sure the world community can understand that.
