Some predicted it would happen and it did. President Barack Obama says the detainee abuse photos he wants to prevent from being released are “not really sensational”, but at the same time they could put U.S. troops at risk. So he’s directed White House lawyers to fight the court-ordered release of the photos. He says he won’t stand for abuse of prisoners. Just recently, White House said it would release the photos, citing little chance of defeating an ACLU challenge to have them released.
