Because the Obama administration's rights to conceal evidence of torture are sufficiently covered already. The only reason to approve this amendment is to override the Supreme Court in case they decide the FOIA forces the O-Team's hand. Basically, the same kind of "executive privilege" Bush was running wild with for the past eight years. Checks & balances, they're doin them rong.

ty for the nitpicking, but that's why I said ~basically. obviously I don't think Obama = Bush. I do think the principles of the approach are the same, and I don't believe the rule of law should be treated like a roadblock to be overcome in the effort to withhold these photos from public scrutiny.
