Nice.

President Obama today signed into law a Homeland Security appropriations bill that grants the Department of Defense (DOD) the authority to continue suppressing photos of prisoner abuse. The amendment, which would allow the DOD to exempt photos from the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), is aimed at photos ordered released by a federal appeals court as part of an American Civil Liberties Union FOIA lawsuit for photos and other records related to detainee abuse in U.S. custody overseas, although it would apply to other photos in government custody as well.

You know, I don’t recall voting for Bush last fall. But apparently I did.

newsjunkie said it all.

Now that you're partisan blindness is starting to ease, your next task is to understand who pulls the strings.
