In a dark room somewhere, a man in shades is holding the head of Accountability under a stream of water.
While we wring our hands over whether or not the torture photos should be released, the Powers That Be have made up their minds: They will not be released. And Accountability will not see daylight.
Agent X is making his arguments to the court.
From tonight's news ...
Justice Dept. asks judges to block abuse photos
The Obama administration asked a federal appeals court Thursday to halt the release of disturbing images of detainee abuse, saying the photos could incite violence in Pakistan as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The court ruled in September 2008 that general concerns about public safety were not specific enough to merit blocking the release of the photos.
The motion filed Thursday also notes that the government plans to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

Congress moves to withhold detainee abuse photos
Congress is moving to stop a federal court order that would disclose government information to the public — this time the photos of terrorist detainee abuse that President Barack Obama no longer wants to release.
Just days after Obama reversed his position on the photos, Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., backed him up by adding a rider late Thursday to the Senate's version of a $91.3 billion supplemental appropriation covering the costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
...snip...
The Lieberman-Graham provision would allow the defense secretary to certify to the president that release of photos or video taken between Sept. 11, 2001, and Jan. 22, 2009, of people captured by U.S. forces outside the United States would endanger lives. In such cases, the release could be prohibited for at least three years.
The House version of the supplemental appropriation bill has no such provision, and the two chambers must still agree on whether to include it in the final bill before it becomes law. Democratic aides say the White House backs the provision.
The Washington Elites are commanding the field. They will not allow these photos to be released. And there will be no fresh air for Accountability.
They know that we will tire ourselves and move on.
