CIA Interrogation Tape Destruction Will Result In No Charges

"While it’s true that the release of additional Abu Ghraib photos would jeopardize the safety of American troops worldwide, and further contribute to the destabilization of a region deemed strategically necessary, few republican leaders, however, spoke out to condemn the use of torture when it was actually occurring; instead, they backed away and, when pressed to respond, dismissively described the torturous acts as inconsequential, isolated, and attributable to a few rogue soldiers acting with no official endorsement, which Bush knows is untrue. In fact, the decision to use torture originated deep within the murky recesses of the Bush Whitehouse. So, at this juncture, republicans are attempting to rewrite their epilogue, abdicate culpability, and distance themselves from the atrocities attributable to the Bush years, a corrupt period in history when republicans controlled both houses of Congress, succumbed to barbarism, abandoned integrity, and wrongly believed their power to be unassailable and without consequence."

All true.

And Republicans & Bush have gotten a great big assist from the unlikeliest of places -- A Democratic president and a Democratic­ally-contr­olled Congress.

This is what Obama did last year when the judicial branch of the United States ordered Obama to release the photos (as Obama had pledged to do as a candidate in 2008):  


He used Joe Lieberman to slip into legislation expanded powers for the Secretary of Defense to circumvent (gut) the Freedom Of Information Act and bury forever the photographic evidence of the t0rture & abuse of uncharged, unconvicted, detainees in US custody.
