Whatever prohibitions they allegedly felt about the backlash abroad with the detainee torture photos were in a different time and place in their political calculations. There are calculations here, too-- to appease an American public and 2012 electorate. Torture photos at American hands OTOH-- and reminders of the crimes that have gone unprosecuted under both past and present administrations- would do nothing to enhance Democrats' self image any more than it would Republicans'.
