Turns out that none other than Jack Abramoff himself was shopping the famous, politically explosive photos of himself with Bush.

These, of course, would be the photos that Time reported on, saying that they appear to be official photos.  And aren't official photos in the public domain?  They were taken by photographers paid by the taxpayers.  Unless the White House is prepared to declare them classified information that's vital to national security (and don't think I wouldn't put it past them right now), they should release them.

After all, Scott McClellan promised a "thorough report" "very soon" on Abramoff's contacts with the White House.  That was on January 5, and it appears to be yet another broken Bush Administration promise.  Why should we be surprised?
