The senators praise Obama’s decision:
“We applaud the President for making the right decision for our troops and our country to fight the release of the photographs of the detainees. The publication of those photographs would only endanger the safety of our troops who go into harm’s way in defense of America. Our country has taken steps to prevent any future abuse of detainees and no public good is now served by releasing these photographs. The President did exactly the right thing in carrying out his responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief. The fact that the President reconsidered the decision is a strength not a weakness.”
