Release
the torture photos, Obama! In solidarity with Veterans for
Peace, Iraq
Veterans Against the War, and Veterans for Common Sense, St. Pete for
Peace supports the end of torture and the release of the new
photographs. The photos below were sent to the veteran groups
who will
deliver them to Obama. Photos: Kathleen Mannion.
Although Obama is attempting to
censor the release of these pictures of apparent rape and
sexual abuse (read)
and believes that releasing them would inflame anti-American public
opinion and put the troops in danger, many in the military have spoken
in favor of their release. President of Veterans For Peace
and former
Navy Corpsman, Mike Ferner said, "The biggest threat to our service
members and our Republic is that we forget what has happened and do it
again," He continued, "Withholding these photographs makes it more
likely that the people of our country can push these horrendous acts to
the edge of our collective memory. This will not serve our nation well."

"PICTURE NO MORE TORTURE"
photos from Veterans for Peace.
