Federal judge rejects request for release of bin Laden photos
More here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...83P1IG20120426The government watchdog group Judicial Watch had requested the Defense Department and CIA release any photos or video footage of the May 1 operation that killed bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The Defense Department said it found no pictures or videos sought by the group and the CIA said it found 52 such records but refused to release them. It cited exemptions to the U.S. Freedom of Information Act law for classified materials and other reasons.
Judicial Watch sued in federal court and U.S. District Judge James Boasberg sided with the Obama administration.

Yet these same judges would have no problem showing photos that depict our troops doing something that will inflame the fanatics of the world. Go figure.
For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

That might have factored in to their decision here, Keith. The revenge angle the release of the photos might inspire probably was considered.

Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.
