Ken Theisen writes on the World Can’t Website that the Obama administrations reversal of its pledge to make public photos depicting “detainee abuse” by US personnel overseas is continuing the Bush Regime policy of cover up of US torture and these policies will continue the policy of torture in Obama’s wars. The Department of Defense had previously told a federal judge that it would release the photos in response to a court ruling in an American Civil Liberties Union Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. President Obama is lying when he claimed in a recent announcement that torture was an act of a “few individuals.” Torture was official US government policy ordered at the top of government and discussed in detail by the White House situation room. One thing the President wants is that anyone who from this day forward falls into the clutches of the armed forces or spy organizations of the US will fear that he too will face water boarding drowning, being torn apart by snarling dogs or have electrodes attached to his genitals and other sadistic forms of interrogation practiced by the US military. The Administration is also afraid that these photos would release mass outrage at what the US government has done in its war on terror. Obama promised to restore the rule of law, to revive our moral standing in the world and to lead to a transparent government. Now his stonewalling tactics and opaque polices mirror the Bush Regime. Obama’s opposition to releasing the torture photos is a declaration that his administration is committed to continuing the wars of terror and torture initiated in the Bush years.
