-- WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is seeking to block the immediate release of hundreds of new photos showing U.S. personnel allegedly abusing prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan.**********
An administration official said today that the president told his legal advisers last week that releasing the photos would endanger U.S. troops.
Obama wants the issue to go back to court, although federal appeals judges have ruled the photos be released.

The biggest news story on the issue now is whether House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, knew about the tactics and approved using them.Yes, America... wake up and behold the kinder, gentler Democratic regime.
