White House Won't Release Pictures of NY Flyover

If a 747 and supersonic jet fighter buzz the Manhattan skyline as part of an ill-conceived photo-op, but the pictures are never seen, did it really happen?

The White House hopes not.

The photos of Air Force One's low flyover of Manhattan will not be released, CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller confirms.

The operation, carried out by the Defense Department and designed to capture one of the president's planes near national landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, sent panicked New Yorkers rushing from their office buildings April 27, fearful of a terrorist attack reminiscent of 9/11. - CBS News Story

Go figure. Obama feels it necessary to release memos of debatable torture that cause a huge uproar around the world, but the pictures of his own Administrations stupidity will be under lock and key? Oh yea, this is that Government Transparency we hear so much about.
