MSNBC is reporting that President Obama has signed the bill that exempts the detainee photo battle from release under the photo. There is good and bad in this. In my opinion, the bad is that the photos that demonstrate government misconduct aren't released to the public. The good is the Supreme Court doesn't get the chance to broaden exemption 7(F) and that the underlying opinions ruling that these photos aren't exempt under the FOIA pursuant to the exemptions tried by the government stand and can be applied to different situations (which I hope, as an American do not occur).
