And privacy issues over at the department of justice. he said that ultimately these photos are going to come out just as the photos of many dead folks over the years that people have tried to hold on to come out. i think playing games with it now saying some senators can look at it but other people cant is just inappropriate. its a much wiser choice to at least release the photos to the families to let the families have access and take a look at them. frankly, at the end of the day i dont see a ...

>> thats not who we are. >> were not interested in doing that. and were also, as americans, not interested, as the president said in trotting around photographs as trophies. >> republicans keep saying torture led us to bin laden. tonight, a former cia interrogator dispels the myths. and tomorrow the president will pay his respects to the families of the fallen. and some on the right are outraged. >> he wants to take victory laps. its obscene. >> and this is the story that has me fire...
