Dems may challenge Obama on torture photo release

By GottaLaff

Do I smell an impending torture photo release?

This could turn into a big story, so it’s worth watching: The House Dem leadership is considering dropping a measure from the big war spending bill that would block the release of detainee photos, which could mean parting ways with the White House on a highly sensitive national security issue.

A Democratic aide confirms that the Dem leadership is in discussions with the White House about possibly dropping the Lieberham-Graham amendment from the House version of the war supplemental, which passed the Senate and would empower the President to nix the release of detainee photos for national security.

The Democrats are acting all rough and tough about this, but can't grow spines on issues like "public health care" among other things. Exsqueeze me?
