Iraqi prisoners pictures:


I can hear people saying that Iraqi was torturing innocent people too and
Iraqis are terrorists, so this is ok...
It’s not ok; if you are acting the same way as the terrorists and the
whole world is watching you. The American over sea popularity is
destroying the American dream and this will negatively influence the
American economy for long time. Also those pictures will be written to
history for ever and many people I know feel a shame to be Americans
because of this. Also don’t forget 90% of all the Iraqi prisoners were
innocent with any prove of terrorist link. However Rumsfeld took care of
this problem and strictly ordered that no American solder can own digital
camera or sell phone with digital camera. (Sounds like a joke, but it’s
exactly what he did)
29/4/2004, 60 Minutes II on CBS reported:
March 2004, the U.S. Army announced 17 soldiers in Iraq, as well as a
brigadier general, had been removed from duty after charges of mistreating
Iraqi prisoners. But the facts of what happened have been kept covert for
long time. Former CIA Bureau Chief Bob Baer said: "We went into Iraq to
stop things like this from happening, and indeed, here they are happening
under our tutelage." Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, deputy director of coalition
operations in Iraq, admitted that this was not an isolated series of
incidents: “I'd like to sit here and say that these are the only prisoner
abuse cases that we're aware of, but we know that there have been some
other ones since we've been here in Iraq,”

at Abu Ghraib" by Seymour Hersh.



The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his
genitals.
