The Pentagon is holding back the release of photos showing terrorists and others in United States custody being abused. These photos are apart of a year long lawsuit that have pictures dating back to September 11, 2001. The Pentagon was set to release the photos of Iraqi and Afghan prisoners because of stipulations with the Freedom of Information Act. Obama was also set to release the photos until he was strongly urged not to by military leaders. The high courts are debating on whether or not to release the photos because of various appeals that have been made. The photos are a very serious issue because of what they depict and how that makes United States officials look. Some photos may soon be released, but extraordinary lengths have been taken to keep the photos from the public.
