Gibbs Grilled By Press Over Abuse Photos Reversal
Gibbs said the president believes releasing the photos would be a threat to servicemen and women in harms way. Gibbs also dismissed the photos as "sensationalistic." A White House correspondent said the idea of dismissing the photos as sensationalistic contradicts the administration's promise of "transparency."
"The existence of the detainee abuse cases is not denoted by the photos," Gibbs said. "The notion that somehow you don't know about these investigations because you haven't seen the photos doesn't make any sense," he concluded.
