President Obama declared Wednesday that despite a court ordered release, he would attempt to block the release of photos showing Iraqi and Afghani prisoner abuse. Obama says that the images would be damaging to the U.S. in world opinion. In the pictures, for instance, none of the Americans are smiling and their hair looks terrible.
Obama further stated that the pictures have already served their purpose as evidence against those responsible for prisoners’ mistreatment. The president feels that the best way to handle the photos now is to allow at least one roll of re-shoots with better lighting.
