Al Qaeda will add the pictures to its collection of recruiting posters, which is a good reason for not publishing them.
As for us, we already have evidence that the stuff happened, and that some of the people who got caught doing it were tried and jailed while those higher up who wanted it done are still free and denying that anything wrong happened. That is the seedy way such situations would be handled in the Soviet Union or Egypt -- a few little guys get hung out to dry while the big guys walk. We used to think, some of us, that America didn't pull that sort of stuff. We can still say we dont, like in the Soviet Union or Egypt, but everybody including us now knows the truth. We used to stand for something in the eyes of the world and in our own eyes, but our behavior the last few years has made it just another sales pitch.
