They must be pretty fucking awful.
Obviously Obama made a moral judgment before he was in office, and now he's seen the photo's and I guess made a judgment that it could be bad enough to cause major civil unrest in Iraq he doesnt really have a choice bu to flip flop on it.
Basically I think we can take the fact that they want to keep them under wraps as evidence that the abuses are bad, worse than anything we've seen before, and they are scared of reprisals against their people if it gets out.
The real shame is that the criminals responsible will probably get off very lightly also if they cant afford the risk of what happened getting out by attempting to punish them.
