Smeared with feces and made to pose for pictures.
Apparently, this is just one of the "acceptable" examples of a massive sadistic catalogue of documented torture, rape and murder at Abu Ghraib prison complex.
Pentagon Blocks Release of Abu Ghraib Images: Here's Why
By Greg Mitchell for Editor and Publisher
Excerpts from the report...
"The American public needs to understand we're talking about rape
and murder here. We're not just talking about giving people a
humiliating experience..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys/children in cases that have been recorded.
The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Some of the worse that happened that you don't know about, ok? Videos,
there are women there. Some of you may have read they were passing letters,
communications out to their men….
The women were passing messages saying
‘Please come and kill me, because of what's happened."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Donald Rumsfeld told Congress last year, after viewing a large cache of
unreleased images: "I mean, I looked at them last night, and they're hard to
believe.”
They show acts "that can only be described as blatantly
sadistic, cruel and inhumane," he added.
A Republican Senator
suggested the same day they contained scenes of “rape and murder.”

It is not much of a stretch to assume that equivalent or worse behaviour is happening in America’s worldwide network of gulags and illegal detention centres. This is all old news for those of us who do not waste our time pretending to be "informed" by the American corporate media.
The cowardly and duplicitous Cheney/Bush administration should tell the truth to the people whose tax dollars and
in whose names these war crimes are undertaken.
I guess they don't want to hurt the sales of "I Love Gitmo" T-shirts.
The weasels in the American media should stop lying by omission and start telling the truth to Americans.
(Until that happens cue Lee Greenwood's "I'm Proud to be an American" and insert head firmly up ass...)
