Torture Photos

I can see both sides of it, but I can't say I'm going crazy re: Obama not wanting to release the graphic torture photos. The questions should be "Is it illegal?" and "did they do it?"; not "how does this make you feel when you look at it?" Something as serious as signing off on a policy of physically and mentally abusing human beings doesn't need any added sensationalism/emotion on top of it.

Release them, don't release them, fine; but I think spending too much time on this particular item might be missing the point.
