Over 100 Children Abused in Custody in Iraq (perhaps exaggerated)
The original report doesn't say that all 107 kids were abused, so take this, perhaps with a grain of salt. All I currently know about is an alleged two. But a country with the Taliban is reading this. This is going to go over real well

"The TV Magazine also reported of evidence and eye witness reports according to which U.S. soldiers also abused children and youthful detainees. Samuel Provance, a staff sergeant stationed in the now infamous Abu Ghraib prison said that interrogating officers had pressured a 15 or 16 year old girl. Military police had only intervened when the girl was already half undressed. On another occasion, a 16 year old was soaked with water, driven through the cold, and then smeared with mud."

1. We don't know because no one has been able to get the records of how
they were treated, how many there are, yet.

2. I agree
The American media can't sit on this forever.
