US torture in Iraq

The images are, as the US state department's legal adviser puts it, "disgusting." Chained, terrified and humiliated Iraqis people the photographs.

US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld admitted they showed scenes that were "blatantly sadistic, cruel and inhuman."

The new images show worse abuse than those released earlier.

One man - apparently deranged - slams his head against a wall while a video camera runs.

Detainees are forced to perform sexual acts. A young girl holds up her shirt, bearing her breasts for the soldier's camera.

A man stands naked and smeared with excrement.

These new images seem to depict abuse worse than anything we had already seen.

They imply much greater violence. Empty cells inexplicably spattered with blood, a man with a serious gash across his throat, another with blood leaking from a head wound, corpses, a torso dotted with small circular wounds - are they cigarette burns?

A few of the images appear to have taken for medical purposes. Most do not.

They are all fresh and awful reminders of what happened in Abu Ghraib prison in 2003.

The images appear to come from the CD compiled by one of the perpetrators, Corporal Charles Graner. Graner had given the CD as a souvenir to a colleague, military policeman Joseph Darby, and Darby, horrified at what he saw, handed it in.

WARNING:
You will find these images disturbing, distressing or offensive!
This is torture was conducted by the great US of A, the same asses that talk so much about human rights.

BTW, Dick Cheney is really stupid. If he had any brains, he would have shot the Shrub!
