Behind every edit is a lie.

Probably misquote Goddard, but anyway.

The British newspaper Daily Telegraph reported that retired Major General Antonio Taguba told them that he had seen the images that Obama wanted to prevent from being released. The newspaper quoted him as saying: “These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency.”

But Taguba told Salon that while he had seen pictures from Abu Ghraib which showed horrific abuse, he had not seen the 44 pictures which the American Civil Liberties Union was seeking to have released.

So, he has seen pictures that show torture, abuse, rape, and every indecency at Abu Ghraib and others, but he has not seen the 44 pictures currently in question.

Well, at least, he claims to not have seen them, but if he hasn’t seen the 44 grouped together, how does he know he hasn’t seen some of those pictures? He can’t. He led the investigation on this matter a few years back, so he has undoubtedly seen quite many photos of these things he spoke of seeing.

Where are those pictures? Why won’t they let the truth out? We know the truth of what the Germans did, what the Japanese did at Nanking and in the Koreas. We know about Vietnam, the Iran-Contra affair. We must know what has gone on.

As RatchetCat quoted the other day “Secrecy has no place in a democracy.”

This nation of the people deserves to know what it’s people it’s of are up to.
