The Obama administration Follies continue as Barack Obama now realizes that gee, maybe he shouldn’t have considered releasing those confidential torture photos after all.

With Obama in the White House, who needs spies?
The Obama administration signaled yesterday that it may be rethinking its promise to release several dozen photos depicting abuse or alleged abuse of detainees held in U.S. custody abroad.
Justice Department officials told a federal judge late last month that the U.S. government did not intend to fight a court order to turn over a total of 44 photos, which were sought by the American Civil Liberties Union under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
A U.S. attorney was unequivocal in a letter to the judge on April 23: “The parties have reached an agreement that the Defense Department will produce all the responsive images by May 28, 2009.”

Isn’t it time for Obama to step down before he does any more damage?
