Iraqi prisoners 'ridden like animals'

New photos released; Male prisoners fondled by women soldiers
May 21, 2004. 11:09 AM

WASHINGTON - Some prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison were ridden like animals, fondled by female soldiers, forced to curse their religion and required to retrieve their food from toilets, the Washington Post reported today.

The newspaper also published new photographs and shots from a video of the alleged abuse and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers.

The newspaper said the material, including secret sworn statements from prisoners, came from evidence being assembled from investigations into possible criminal charges against U.S. soldiers.

The photographs depict a U.S. soldier apparently preparing to strike a shackled detainee, a hooded inmate collapsed with his wrists handcuffed to the railing and a baton-wielding soldier appearing to order a naked detainee covered in a brown substance to walk a straight line, though his ankles are shackled.

The Post said it obtained hundreds more pictures and several digital videos of the abuse. In one photo, a cornered inmate is cowering as a soldier tries to restrain a large black dog with both hands. In another, a soldier appears to be kneeling on naked detainees.




There's just no end to this is there ?

my
