Would Releasing the Detainee Abuse Photos Really Endanger U.S. Troops?

The reason President Obama and his supporters gave for refusing to comply with a court order to release 44 photos of the abuse of detainees is that the photos would inflame anti-American sentiment and endanger U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, it is worth noting that those who are angry at the U.S. already have plenty of motivation. U.S. troops invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and are still occupying the country 7 ½ years later. U.S. troops invaded Iraq and are still occupying that country more than 6 years later. Citizens in the Muslim world and elsewhere are already well aware of the fact that Americans kidnapped and tortured hundreds of people, many of whom who turned out to be innocent; that the U.S. was operating secret interrogation prisons around the world; and that, through aerial bombing, American troops are still killing civilians, including women and children.
