'Baghdad will burn'

Of course, this raises the most important question again (for me at least) which is why anyone thinks the withheld pictures will cause some sort of firestorm if they are actually less incendiary than what we've seen before. The logic of that just escapes me. If they are just pictures of something similar to what Graner and the crew did, or something more mundane, then it's ludicrous that they will cause any trouble overseas at this point. (digby)

Did you hear what she said? The logic of that escapes her. Her understanding of the Iraqi mind is such that she finds it ludicrous the release of the photos will cause any trouble overseas.

Well, Digby, perhaps you've heard of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki, who went "pale in the face" and warned "Baghdad will burn" if the photos are released.
