I don't want to see these images either, but the reality of american mass media in particular is that images create controversy and hype, and in regards to the government torturing people in secret prisons, I think it is CRUCIALLY important that americans both know and if they refuse to acknowledge, be forced to see the truth, even if its just once. That is the only way any of this shit will stop, is if the people on the street have an image of it in their mind.
The President should not have censor its activities to begin with, and if it results to such censorship, then you have a problem. The point of this thread was to point out that the police-state atmosphere of the United States has not changed with Obama, it is all the same, carrying on as ever..

What yr saying is true but... I dont think any amount of 'evidence' is going to make someone believe the US government could ever do any thing wrong... if they are that way inclined in their views.
People who can't think for themselves won't be swayed by a few photographs.
