President Obama keeps surprising (and enraging) the far left, by actually taking his duties as Commander in Chief seriously: Obama seeks to block release of abuse photos.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is seeking to block the release of hundreds of photos showing prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan being abused, reversing his position after military commanders warned that the images could stoke anti-American sentiment and endanger U.S. troops.

And again, I have to give Obama a thumbs-up for doing the right thing in this case, instead of pandering to the MoveOn.org crowd and the Democrats screaming for Bush administration blood.
