"In my view, and it's solely my view, these pictures, at this time, by the executive branch, should not be released into the public domain," Warner, R-Virginia, said, citing the possibility that more images of abuse end up "inspiring the enemy."


Um... that Inspiring the enemy thing has gotten me thinking on a train of though difficult to put into words, but it makes me think of a more extreem case, where I imagine Nazi Germany didn't release pictures from concentration camps for fear of them "Inspiring the enemy".

The Germans probably weren't stupid enough to film themselves abusing the Jews.

Actually, the Nazis filmed just about everything.

Thats how the History Channel stays in bussiness.... they have something new on the nazis every 2 weeks.

*cough*

As a German, I would like to shed some light there. Most footage was destroyed, and what remains was taken by the Amis, the Russians, or another enemy source. German films, even by the SS or SD, were forbidden.

And it was not just the Jews that the Nazis abused.
( note the word Nazis. Firstly, most concentration camp guards were Germanic, Flemish, Swede, Norwegian, Danish, et al. And not all Germans were Nazis)

And what about the Amis? How many times did you go through your own period of abusing your own citizens? How long did you abuse, torture, enslave, kill, maim, degrade, and villify the blacks????

Yeah let's not talk about the Germans like that. Let's talk about those stupid lazy Canadians or @#%$-ass French or some other non-offensive all-American subject.

Why do we have to run around throwing offensive content in people's faces to begin with? Just to piss them off?


Of course! What was I thinking. Silly me.
