Barack Obama Does U-Turn On Terror Trials As Fresh Prisoner 'Abuse' Pictures Emerge

The picture of a man hanging naked and upside down naked from a bunk which is alleged to be one of 2,000 images that President Barack Obama tried to block publication of fearing a backlash against U.S. troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan

From The Daily Mail:

Barack Obama is to revive the fiercely-disputed Bush-era trial system of terror suspects which he denounced in 2006 as 'flawed'.

The U.S. president suspended the tribunals within hours of taking office in January, ordering a review of the process of prosecuting suspected terrorists.

But the military trials will begin again in four months with certain new legal protections for the detainees.

The news came within hours of the emergence of fresh pictures showing the alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners.

My Comment: I was feeling good when I woke up this morning .... but when I checked the English websites, I saw the above picture. I was debating to publish it or not in this blog .... but with the Drudge Report now reporting on it, and numerous blogs getting involved .... the cat is now out of the bag.

This is very bad .... for I know that we are better than this.
