Senate votes to block release of detainee photos

By GottaLaff

I've posted about the threat to destroy all the torture photos, but how'd I miss this?

The Senate has again voted to allow the Obama administration to refuse to release new photos showing U.S. personnel abusing detainees held overseas.

The move by Connecticut independent Joe Lieberman and South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham reprises a huge fight with House liberals during action on a war-funding bill enacted last month.

The famous Senate vaudeville team of Joe and Lindsey strikes again. Get the hook, Harry.

These photos are necessary to prove the brutal abuse of detainees. In fact, Fayiz al-Kandari's are being withheld from his lawyer, Lt. Col. Barry Wingard, as are doctors' notes verifying his mistreatment.

The photographs do not have to make the front pages of the Times, but they are vital to exposing what really happened behind prison walls and holding the abusers responsible. And by abusers, I mean BushCo and the CIA, per Jane Mayer's book The Dark Side.
