dlongworth @Newsweek What is the point of releasing such photos other than to drive media hysteria? Just knowledge of such abuse is enough.  

csledzik @Newsweek Photos are a powerful thing. That being said, I think he made the right decision.  

ZoomBuzz @Newsweek i think he is right.  

Mica4Life @Newsweek he should have released selected pictures since he opened the door releasing the memos.  

EmpressEricka @Newsweek i honestly think hes doing the right thing. the US still has the abu grave fail hanging over its head, this will not help....  

EmpressEricka @Newsweek .... with our overall image and standing with the world... which seems to be something obama wants to focus on.  

renea0102 @Newsweek i think these types of photos do not need to be viewed by the public even though abuse is wrong  

lioness823 @Newsweek I really don't think they should be released. Ppl do not need to become desensitized to things like that.  

lioness823 @Newsweek Just so you know @SenJohnMcCain agrees w/Pres Obama's decision.  

BUZZARDSKORNER @Newsweek he did exactly the correct thing...we do not need to see this, nor do our enemies!!  

EShahan @Newsweek Better to release them & get everything out in the open. If not, the least he should do is explain what happened to transparency.  

linafinanyc @Newsweek release & publish the photos  

jaytin @Newsweek Pres should've let them be released for the subject to get more exposure & prevention to be further debated & outlined
