Abu Ghraib Video - Watch the AUS program that started it all...
Keep it kicked folks! The truth must be heard.

On Wednesday 15 February 2006, Australian public broadcaster SBS current affairs program DATELINE telecast a segment featuring 60 new photos of the torture inflicted on prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. These photos were secured by court order - the ACLU figures prominently in the report - but these photos haven't yet been shown in the media anywhere in the United States. Because of the broadcast on SBS, you now have access to both Web-downloadable versions and BitTorrent file-sharing network versions of the broadcast on this site. THESE PHOTOS ARE VERY DISTURBING. Please do not view this video if you are easily disturbed by graphic imagery of torture and death.

Viewing Instructions are here:

Please share this message and these videos with everyone you believe should see them.

1. We need to be witness to
the heinous war crimes being committed in our names.

I have always had a tough time watching horror movies and always avoid them. Gratuitous gore is not my cup of tea.

Since we attacked Iraq I have been viewing many horrifying photos because I feel it is our duty as human beings and as Americans to witness.

I have seen the photos from the attack of Fallujah.

I have seen the photos of the depleted uranium birth defects.

I have seen the first set of Abu Ghraib photos.

I intend to view this broadcast.

I don't want to see anymore, but I feel that I must. It is a debt we owe to all that have suffered in our names.

How could they ever forgive?:cry:

6. Hey...
Did you see how many were downloaded from the torrent? Just under 2000. And there are like 400 more site hosting it, too.

These photos are disgraceful
Why do Americans have to turn to the Aussies for accurate reporting?

8. No shit...
but on the other hand, this isn't 'Democracy as usual' anymore. Our government is being run by an Adminstration that was not elected by the people.
