what: President Obama said Wednesday he told government lawyers to object to a court-ordered release of additional images showing alleged abuse of detainees because the release could affect the safety of U.S. troops and inflame anti-American opinion.

President Obama discusses the alleged prisoner abuse photos at the White House on Wednesday. Releasing the photos could have a chilling effect on further investigations of detainee abuse without adding to the understanding of past abuses, he said. The Pentagon was set to release hundreds of photographs of prisoners in detention facilities in Afghanistan and Iraq. The photos are not particularly sensational, especially when compared with the painful images that we remember from Abu Ghraib Obama said, referring to the Iraqi military prison where photographs released in 2004 of detainees being abused and humiliated sparked widespread outrage. But they do represent conduct that didn't conform with the Army manual. Obama reiterated that any future abuse of detainees is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The publication of the photos would not add any additional benefit to investigations being carried out into detainee abuse -- and could put future inquires at risk.

Pasadenda teen put in jail for 20 years for solictation Capital Muder

What: Ramirez tried to hire a hit man to kill an Ex girlfriends Friend Last YearThe sophomore at Pasadena's Sam Rayburn High school thought the 15-year-old girl was interfering in his relationship with an ex-girlfriend. But the classmate he tried to hire instead called Crime Stoppers. Ramirez then tried to hire an undercover police officer. During the pre-sentence investigation, the judge listened to an audio recording of that meeting between Ramirez and the officer. Ramirez said on the tape, "You can probably go ahead and stab her in the heart, but that's another thing..." The undercover officer responded, "That's kind of dirty, though, it's kind of close up, man." "Yeah," Ramirez agreed. "That's kind of too deep, because your hair follicles and your DNA will be on the knife and then your fingerprints." "The victim testified, and her mother testified of the fear that they have lived in since they found out that Thomas Ramirez was trying to have her daughter killed," said prosecutor Stephen St. Martin. Nonetheless, KTRK legal analyst Joel Androphy says since Ramirez's attempt failed, a 20 year sentence is a heavy price to pay. "Outrageous," said Androphy. "Sure, he committed a crime, solicitation of capital murder, but the punishment does not fit the crime." Thomas' father Cesar Ramirez agreed, "He's not going to last one month. He is not going to last one month. They will test him out. That's just the facts. I've been there." Ramirez may not have any way to appeal his sentence, and he will likely be eligible for parole in six to ten years.
