It could one day become "abu Ghraib 2.0:" the release of additional photoso showing detainees allegedly abused in U.S. facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the American president is adivisng White House lawyers to block the release of more photos. Civil liberties advocates are objecting to the move.
