Release CIA Interrogator names and more Damaging Photos? Yes. Release Air Force One Joy Ride Photos? "Classified"

An astounding juxtaposition. Via Don Surber:
Guess which set of military photos President Obama will release — and which set of military photos he will not let the public see.

The New York Post reported: “The $328,835 snapshots of an Air Force One backup plane buzzing lower Manhattan last week will not be shown to the public, the White House said yesterday.”

Meanwhile, the White House will cave in to liberal special interest groups and release another set of photos.

AFP reported: “The Pentagon will soon release hundreds of photographs showing alleged abuse by US personnel of war on terror detainees during the Bush administration, a US official said Friday.”

National security does not bother him. Criticism of The Won? that just is not going to happen…

Lawhawk has more.

I opined about the "torture photos" last week.

And there is also this, from the New York Post:

The $328,835 snapshots of an Air Force One backup plane buzzing lower Manhattan last week will not be shown to the public, the White House said yesterday.

"We have no plans to release them," an aide to President Obama told The Post, refusing to comment further.

The sole purpose of the secret photo-op, which sent thousands of New Yorkers running for cover, was to take new publicity shots of the presidential jet over the city.

"The photos . . . are classified -- that's ridiculous," Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., said.

.....

Shame America First; but by all means protect "The One" at all costs.

Coming soon: "newspeak".
