Congress Assists In Torture Photo Cover-Up, Lieberman At Center Of Controversy

The American Prospect :

Since 2003, the ACLU has been seeking torture documents through a FOIA lawsuit. In 2005, the Southern District Court of New York ordered the government to release a set of photos depicting detainee abuse, a decision that was affirmed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in September of 2008. After the Obama administration took office, they agreed to release the photos--before reversing course in May citing the potential effect on American soldiers abroad because of the photos' potential to inflame anti-American sentiment.

Thanks again, Connecticut

No surprise there.

I see Lieberman in a dark cloak pacing on the bridge of the Death Star.

This cover up needs a stronger headline.

[dteg]

This cover up of torture photos should be on the front page. Making laws to bury evidence is wrong.

Lieberman at center of controversy. When is Joe NOT at the center of controversy?
BTW, the size of his head makes Stewie's look normal.

Now we know why he stuck like glue to the military men- McCain and JAG Officer Graham!

[DestinationsUnknown]

And he wants Hearings on Obama's czars!

[wonketteRAWKS]

Anyone doubt that Obama is happy with this?

[Okieborn]

Joe Lieberman always voted for the torture issue under the Bush administration and now that the torture pictures could be released good ol Joe is scared to death he will be shown for what he really is !!
There are plenty of words to describe Lieberman but probably un-printable !!!

[NANANACHMAN]

How about "Joe the Shmoe"

[Whinger]

They protected his interests, now he's showing his gratitude!

[OliverTwist]

This is probably the most important story today.

Congress conspires again to obstruct justice, subvert the law, and protect priviledged criminals.

[WeMustSpeakOut]

More legislated obfuscation for us to choke on.
More bu||sh|t we're supposed to believe in.
Long live the ACLU.

AMEN!
