Meanwhile, here in New York, anti-torture activists with the group World Can’t Wait held a protest at Grand Central Station calling for the photos’ release. Protesters donned orange jumpsuits and black hoods similar to those worn by Guantanamo Bay prisoners. Samantha Goldman of World Can’t Wait rejected the Obama administration’s argument for censoring the photos.

Samantha Goldman: “What inflames anti-American sentiment is US military bases around the world. What inflames anti-US sentiment is torture, is what we’re actually going over there to do. That’s what inflames anti-American sentiment. Prosecuting the criminals, which, to do that, you need the photos to be released, to actually prosecute Bush-era criminals, you would need to have the photos as evidence.”
