If Obama tries to suppress them it will only make him look bad.

Here's what's playing in the Australian Press

Barack Obama does U-turn on terror trials as fresh prisoner 'abuse' pictures emerge
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1182228/Barack-Obama-does-U-turn-terror-trials-fresh-prisoner-torture-images-emerge.html

The U.S. president suspended the tribunals within hours of taking office in January, ordering a review of the process of prosecuting suspected terrorists.
But the military trials will begin again in four months with certain new legal protections for the detainees.
The news came within hours of the emergence of fresh pictures showing the alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners

1. I wasn't quite sure
if the pics published in Oz were new ones or re-releases of the first batch from a while ago. :shrug:

Doubtless others will leak out anyway.

4. the truth will always out
which is why cover ups are the stupidest political decision everytime. Cover ups never work, they simply taint those who covered with the guilt of those who did the crimes. That's how it works, always.
