Abu Ghraib leaked report reveals full extent of abuse
1,325 images of suspected detainee abuse
· 93 video files of suspected detainee abuse
· 660 images of adult pornography
· 546 images of suspected dead Iraqi detainees
· 29 images of soldiers in simulated sexual acts


Nearly two years after the first pictures of naked and humiliated Iraqi detainees emerged from Abu Ghraib prison, the full extent of the abuse became known for the first time yesterday with a leaked report from the US army's internal investigation into the scandal.

The catalogue of abuse, which was obtained by the online American magazine Salon, could not have arrived at a worse time for the Bush administration, coinciding with yesterday's United Nations report on abuse of detainees at Guantánamo, the release of a video showing British troops beating up Iraqi youths, and lingering anger in the Muslim world over cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.

5. Abu Ghraib? That's old news...give us more about cheney...
:sarcasm:

I really can't believe what this world has become.....we invade countries...bomb their cities and murder the inhabitants...we torture prisoners in the most absolute inhuman ways...spy on our own people...our next to the highest elected* official shoots a man and doesn't have to answer to anyone...our elected* officials serve only themselves....screw the average citizen....

Are we too far down the road to stop it all??

DR




*elected- I use that term very loosely...

7. The majority of Americans do not care about this.
In their view this has been settled; the few bad apples have been punished. Case closed.
