US investigating new prisoner abuse photos

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/0D7C956B-872D-451B-95BA-E2AB3B8D69F1.htm

The US military has launched a criminal investigation into photographs that appear to show Navy Seals special forces in Iraq sitting on hooded and handcuffed detainees, and photos of what appear to be bloodied prisoners, one with a gun to his head.

These and other photos found by the AP appear to show the immediate aftermath of raids on civilian homes. One man is lying on his back with a boot on his chest.

A mug shot shows a man with an automatic weapon pointed at his head and a gloved thumb jabbed into his throat. In many photos, faces have been blacked out


In several of the photos obtained by the AP, grinning men wearing US flags on their uniforms, and one with a tattoo of a Seal trident, take turns sitting or lying atop what appear to be three hooded and handcuffed men in the bed of a pickup truck.

2. Naked Aggression!

It looks like the Abu Ghraib was not an isolated incident after all.

How the "Christian" right claims that Bush supports their morals I'll never understand.

The right to kill over 100,000 people who have really done absolutely nothing to harm America.

After 9-11, America had the goodwill of the world; today we're dispised around the world.

Its our leadership, namely Bush.

4. This should play well around the world.

Being only about 5% of the worlds people I would not say that we will end up on the right side of this mess. Who did not think that there was more out their? It was always odd that all these men starting doing the same thing world wide in the first place. Some thing is going on
