Abu Ghraib: More Pictures

by tristero

60 more photos, including six corpses, and what appear to be wounds from shotgun pellets (and no, I don’t find any humor or irony in comparison. Torture takes away my ability to laugh or smirk.) The Bush administration has been trying to prevent Americans from seeing these new pics but 15 of the 60 are published in a slide show with the article. They are sickening.

The rest are to be shown on an Australian tv show. Note the very different way the incident is described by a press that is not American, which seems to my mind not only to imply culpability but also a cover-up of the involvement of superiors:

Seven US guards were jailed following publication of the first batch of Abu Ghraib photographs in April 2004.

Hit, tip, Kevin.

No doubt there are many more pictures, and videos, that have fallen beyond the legal control of the US.
