New abuse detail hits administration defence of Rumsfeld
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20040509/pl_afp/us_iraq&cid=1521&ncid=1480

<snip>According to Senator Lindsay Graham, a Republican, the US public will have to brace for cases of "murder and rape" from the scandal.


NBC television quoted army investigators as saying Abu Ghraib inmates were physically abused, punched, slapped and kicked and that military police jumped on their naked feet.


Investigators said a male MP guard had sex with a female prisoner, according to the US network.


Time magazine, in its edition to be released this week, quoted a former Abu Ghraib detainee Mohammad Unis Hassan as saying he regularly saw a US guard having sex with an Iraqi woman prisoner near his cell. Hassan was detained for looting a bank last July.

2. Rush's words of wisdom will live in infamy.....
as usual.

Time for another prescription for Rush so he can think of more and better justifications for this innocent hazing.

4. This is getting tiresome
Why do they keep referring to it as sex when it's a female prisoner, but rape when it's a male prisoner? It was ALL rape, are they trying to imply somehow that it was consensual sex with the female? WTF are these reporters thinking? :mad:
