Well, not Nagasaki, but our detainee fiasco. It's a horrible "war" and we cannot look at it.
Funny thing is that I actually concur that more of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld mess in the hands of Hizb'allah or the Hammas is probably not a good idea.
The political concession should be that a dedicated wing in the Bush library be built, so it can house ALL the pictures, eventually.
I'm unfamiliar with the court case related to these photos. However, if there is a prosecution of someone to occur, rather than a principle of access to be vindicated, it's hard to see how these photos shouldn't be admissible as classified evidence. In other words, I don't see proper handling of the photos to preclude a trial (although I could be wrong about whether evidence rules of that kind are common or possible).
