Members of the state's Congressional delegation say it's the president's call -- and none of them were not willing to criticize the decision by the White House to keep the images out of public view.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman's spokesman, Jeremy Kirkpatrick, said the Senator "understands that this was a difficult judgment and respects the decision of the president."
Lieberman, Kirkpatrick adds, "has not seen the photos, but he has been briefed on their content."
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro has also not seen the photos. But she says she respects "the sensitive nature of the issue and understand the president's decision to do what he believes is in the nation's best interest at this time."
