It is heart breaking that a country like The United States of America which professes to be the longest standing democratic state and also preaches the freedom of the press would pass a vote to sanction the hiding of photographs of abused detainees. This portends a very bad trend aspecially for developing countries like Nigeria. Nigeria would take a cue from US and may not pass the freedo of Information Bill.
It is deeply dissappointing that a government that derives its powers from the people and its entire existence( finances) from the citizenry would then want to hide its subversive flaws from its source of existence.
