Anger Over Mohammed Cartoon

[glatt]

"they" in my post refers to the administration, which fought releasing them in the first place. I recall that they showed all the pictures to memebers of congress at the time, but only released some to the press. The rest they wanted to hide because they were even worse than the hooded wire guy and naked pyramid ones. You can't keep a lid on photos like this. They will get out. In order to maximize damage control, they should have released them all at once. It would have been slightly more painful at the time, but they wouldn't be resurfacing at a time that the world is in turmoil over a bunch of cartoons. What I'm saying is that the administration handled the fallout from these pictures poorly.

What I'm not saying is that the press shouldn't be printing them. I think the press should print them as they get them.
