In 2004 , discussing images of torture of Iraqi prisoners:

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld . . . warned that videos and photos yet to come could further inflame worldwide outrage…

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told reporters, “The American public needs to understand we’re talking about rape and murder here. We’re not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience.”

Remember, the government is not just withholding images of torture. It is withholding images of rape and murder, including - apparently - the sodomy of boys.
