Then you're unaware of what Obama said: "It is my belief that the publication of these photos would not add any additional benefit to our understanding of what was carried out in the past by a small number of individuals," the president said Wednesday afternoon. "In fact, the most direct consequence of releasing them, I believe, would be to further inflame anti-American opinion and to put our troops in greater danger." "Moreover, I fear the publication of these photos may only have a chilling effect on future investigations of detainee abuse," he added. The president said that the photos "are not particularly sensational, especially when compared to the painful images that we remember from Abu Ghraib," adding they are associated with investigations that have already been closed. But, he said, "they do represent conduct that did not conform with the Army Manual." .... In his comments Wednesday afternoon, the president said the incidents depicted in the photos were "investigated long before I took office," and said those who acted irresponsible had been punished. He also reiterated his position that "any abuse of detainees is unacceptable." .... cbsnews.com Show me where Obama said the wrong doings have already been investigated.... There you have it. Now please don't act in the future as if you haven't seen that.
