Wanna bet new Abu Grahib photos come out after the election?
I am convinced that the neo-cons working at the Pentagon (most of whom are think tankers with little foundation in reality) are suppressing the most brutal of the torture photos at the Abu Grahib prison. Members of Congress have already seen them in a private viewing and I can remember they were rather alarmed to say the least.

Seymour Hersh claimed to have seen a video (or heard the audio, I don't remember) of an Iraqi boy being sodomized by one of America's finest.

Just watch. After the election, regardless of who wins, pictorial evidence will come out revealing the torture to be even worse than most people realize.

1. the sodomizing was supposedly by an Iraqi "capo" at the prison. It...
...was NOT an American. But yes, the worst of the Abu Grahib photographic evidence has conveniently disappeared from American minds and the American media.

ANYTHING, and I do mean ANYTHING, that $hrubco deems damaging to it's re-selection is being carefully controlled. Bribes, threats, intimidation and other gestapo tactics are all being employed to keep the BFEE bad news from pervading the airwaves. And how convenient, they seem to control almost all major media outlets.

2. Reminds me-the ACLU has a lawsuit about this-Oct 15th deadline
http://www.worldrevolution.org/article/1519

I wondered when I saw this before if it would include the Abu Ghraib photographs.

In a victory for human and civil rights groups, a U.S. federal judge has given the government 30 days to turn over or identify all documents relating to the treatment of detainees held by the United States at military bases and other detention facilities overseas, including at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq (news - web sites).

3. Why does the US still hold CIVILIAN women in Abu Grahib
Better yet bluestate answer this question:

Okay, Saddam is out of power and the USA has installed its own interim puppet government until a more permanent puppet government can be established.

Bush, Cheny, Rummy and Colin have all admitted that there were no stockpiles of forbidden chemical weapons, and basically that Saddam had done exactly as he claimed he had done and destroyed them all by the mid 1990s.

The USA is holding two CIVILIAN Iraqi women prisoner without any legal authority as far as I can see. These women were supposed to be the scientists involved in the forbidden weapons program that the Bush administration now admits did not exist.

The two Americans and the one Brit who were beheaded in the past few weeks were killed because their captives wanted the two women released and the USA refused to do what was within its power to do.

Why does the US still hold these two women?

Where is the legal authority?

Did the USA simply dig-in its heals and not let the women go to show that we would not be bullied into doing something?

When Bush told Saddam he had better “come clean” on all his stockpiles of forbidden chemical weapons, wasn’t Bush trying to bully Saddam into doing what Bush wanted?

What is the moral and difference between how Bush tried to bully Saddam and how the kidnappers of the Americans and Brit tried to bully the USA?

BUSH JUST WANTED A REASON TO AVENGE "DADDY GEORGE"!
