New photos: Torture Scandal Grows

The Washington Post and ABC, published new photographs of the alleged abuse
and sexual humiliation of Iraq prisoners by U.S. soldiers. The material, including
secret sworn statements from prisoners, came from evidence being assembled
from investigations into possible criminal charges against U.S. soldiers.

Two American soldiers posing with thumbs up near a body packed in ice at Iraq’s
Abu Ghraib prison.

The photographs depict a U.S. soldier apparently preparing to strike a shackled
detainee, a hooded inmate collapsed with his wrists handcuffed to the railing,
and a baton-wielding soldier appearing to order a naked detainee covered in
a brown substance to walk a straight line, though his ankles are shackled.

In one photo, a cornered inmate is cowering as a soldier tries to restrain
a large black dog with both hands.

  • That is bad... as bad as they might be they are humans and shouldn’t be treated like that.

    • DOES THE MIDDLE EAST TREAT THE UNITED STATES, OR OTHER COUNTRIES THERE JUST TRYING TO HELP THEM, HUMANILY? I DON’T THINK SO. IT’S TIME TO PULL ALL OF THE TROOPS OUT AND NUKE THE MIDDLE EAST. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY.
