My take on the photos is that they should not have been released. Yes, the atrocities at the prison needed to stop. No, we did not need to risk innocent american lives to do so. I just feel that when those photos were leaked we were adding fuel to an already raging fire. I pray to God that the remaining photos that the White House has in their possession stay behind special security closed doors. I'm not concerned with free speech or the public's right to know. I'm concerned with someone's husband, brother, sister, wife, etc. dying as a result of backlash. The “girlfriend” was not saying that because it was bound to happen that it is somehow less shocking.
