 Senate foreign relations committee chairman John Kerry said on Friday that he was concerned the release of photos depicting the abusive treatment of detainees in U.S. custody could become "propaganda tool" for terrorist organizations.
| Don't worry, our enemies just hate America, not Obama ... |
In an interview with the Huffasnuffaguffalus Huffington Post, the Massachusetts Democrat was asked to respond to news that the Department of Defense would be releasing 44 photos pertaining to the harsh handling of detainees at prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I think showing the truth is always important," said Kerry.
| Careful Jahwn, your aura is getting almost as big as Bambi's ... |
"But I do think it will be used as a propaganda tool and have some damaging impact. But this didn't happen under Obama, it happened under Bush and every one understands that."
| Apparently John Kerry wasn't an American these past eight years (we could argue he still isn't but I digress). Lurch doesn't think that releasing the photos now is that big a propaganda tool since Bambi is supposed to make everything right. |
Kerry stressed in the interview that this was not a decision made by the Obama administration. "They are not releasing them because they want to, but because there was a FOIA request and a judge is ordering them released," he said.
| Bambi could have asked the DoJ to appeal. Or he could have looked the other way as a tragic small office fire burned all the photos. |
He also stressed that Obama had put an end to these interrogation tactics, which would, in due course, eliminate a galvanizing tool used by these same terrorist cells.
| That's not necessarily true; the Bambi lawyers are arguing in court that we need to keep 'enhanced interrogation techniques'. |
"We are trying to move to a new place," he said, "and we have ended these policies." But he did concede that the pictures "will be used as a tool... as were the other photos [from Abu Ghraib]."
| But ev'ryone knows it's Bush so that's okay. Just go ahead and smear America some more. |
