NEW ABU GHRAIB PHOTOS REVEALED

<snip>

Executive producer Mike Carey says Dateline obtained a file of hundreds of pictures, some that have been seen before and others that show new abuses.

Some photos feature prisoners in sexually humiliating acts that are deemed too graphic to be shown on the program, he said.

Video footage apparently shows one prisoner abusing himself by bashing his own head against a wall, while other photographs appear to show corpses.

Mr Carey says he assumes other journalists might also have seen the photographs but does not know why they have not been released yet.

3. Dubya, Dick and Condiliar have repeatedly and emphatically
insisted that "the U.S." does not practice torture.

I'm not sure if they have been as insistent that "the U.S." doesn't farm out torture to other nations and private "security" interests.

In any case it makes me goddamned sick and ashamed of my government.

4. if there's one thing we've learned in the past five years, it's that . . .
BushCo lies about EVERYTHING . . .

given their record, absolutely nothing they say can be taken at face value . . . in most cases, in fact, the truth is the exact opposite of what they are saying . . .

someday -- maybe -- we'll learn the truth about 9/11, about domestic spying; about leaks; about the White House and the oil companies (and the pharmaceutical companies, and the insurance companies, etc.); about the PNAC and American imperialism; about election fraud . . .

hell, we may even learn the truth about the Cheney hunting "mishap" . . .

maybe . . .

... all. Bittorrent it up and the mystery ends. These fuckers have gotten away with stonewalling for long enough. I know for sure that the WP has the full set, so no doubt others do as well. We know Rumsfeld's excuse - but what's the so-called liberal media's excuse?
