Abu Ghraib: Soldiers Sodomized Young Iraqis (that's butt fucked, moron)
Ah.. the "real truth" has started surfacing at last!

Was waiting on this and a lot more. Tho I doubt some of it will actually reach the stage of being published.

About two months ago I was "priviledged" (tho duboius word!) to see some images shot in both Afghanistan and Iraq by a friend who is a war photographer. This material was being hand-processed for extra safety since it was almost a year's work in both these countries.

These images were not in any prison, but all over the place. Many were "nice" images, but the "others" were a fucking horror story and it was these images that "stuck".

It's not my place to be specific about the nature of them - the images are not my property, - but they do hit on the realms of what can only be described as torture and murder. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that some people need shot on sight for what are clearly war crimes. Seeing this material, tho I'm not an advocate of capital punishment - it sure makes a good case for it.

There are "other issues" going on and, least in the immediate future, I doubt this material will be published, - but will be some day. It took five years after Vietnam before Time had the guts to use some of this guy's material on a cover.

This conduct also makes a reasonable case for the indictment of the instigators and those in command of this US adventure - it's little surprise they were opposed to the International Criminal Court. Their day will come
