Anti-Torture Activists Call for Prosecutions, Photos’ Release
-------------------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, here in New York, anti-torture activists with the group World
Can’t Wait held a protest at Grand Central Station calling for the
photos’ release. Protesters donned orange jumpsuits and black hoods
similar to those worn by Guantanamo Bay prisoners. Samantha Goldman of
World Can’t Wait rejected the Obama administration’s argument for
censoring the photos.

Samantha Goldman: “What inflames anti-American sentiment is US military
bases around the world. What inflames anti-US sentiment is torture, is
what we’re actually going over there to do. That’s what inflames
anti-American sentiment. Prosecuting the criminals, which, to do that,
you need the photos to be released, to actually prosecute Bush-era
criminals, you would need to have the photos as evidence.”
