PHOTOS OF AIR FORCE ONE BACKUP PLANE FLYING OVER NYC NOT TO BE SEEN BY PUBLIC - New York Post

PHOTOS OF AIR FORCE ONE BACKUP PLANE FLYING OVER NYC NOT TO BE SEEN BY PUBLIC - New York Post: "The $328,835 snapshots of an Air Force One backup plane buzzing lower Manhattan last week will not be shown to the public, the White House said yesterday.

'We have no plans to release them,' an aide to President Obama told The Post, refusing to comment further.

The sole purpose of the secret photo-op, which sent thousands of New Yorkers running for cover, was to take new publicity shots of the presidential jet over the city.

'The photos . . . are classified -- that's ridiculous,' Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., said.

The photos have not technically been 'classified,' a White House aide said, but they are being kept from public view."

    Let's see...we'll release all the so - called "torture" photos via the CIA.....photos that could be hugely damaging and dangerous to those who keep us safe each and every day.
    However....a plane carelessly and without thought; buzzing NYC is kept hidden - why, ey?
    Maybe not such a politically popular move was it?
    Video of People running for their lives through the streets of Manhattan didn't play well in Peoria, did it?
    But denigrating our military...now THAT'S the ticket!!!!!
    There ARE more of us than you think noticing these things. And we WILL remember.
