Tough *****. Various groups been trying to get the photos released for what, a year or so? The administration (as they always seem to do) has used up every trick in the book in an attempt to prevent/delay the release of the pix. The fact that the timing bit them in the ass politically was nobody's fault but their own. What did they think they were going to do, release them the day before Hillary's inaugural address?
The pictures appear to be more from the same set that caused the orignal scandal, but by suppressing (or trying to) them, they attempted to downplay the magnitude of the scandal. With the previous set, the NeoCon mouthpieces (Limbaugh, O'Reilly, et al) could dismiss the whole thing as a 'fraternity prank. These pictures seem to suggest otherwise.
If these pictures had come out with the rest of the bunch, the ***** storm would have been bigger, but it would be behind us now. But no, GWB refused. Now that the rest of the ***** is hitting the fan, the NeoCons are wrapping themselves in the flag, and blaming the liberals, the press - anyone within buckshot range - because the policy of deception set forth by the Karl Rove and the Ministry of Truth backfired. The Administration has it's ***** in the wringer again, but we're supposed to look the other way under the guise of 'supporting the troops'.
Now let's look at the world picture and see if maybe now is not the best time to try to indvade and occupy any Arab countries.
