The White House is pushing back against a British press report claiming the latest round of detainee photos -- the ones they're not releasing -- contain images of rape.
"None of the photographs in question depict the images described in the article," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. "Again, I -- I think if you do an even moderate Google search you're not going to find many of these newspapers and truth within, say, 25 words of each other."

"Let's just say if I wanted to look up -- if I wanted to read a write-up today of how Manchester United fared last night in the Champions League Cup, I might open up a British newspaper," he said. "If I was looking for something that bordered on truthful news, I'm not entirely sure it'd be the first stack of clips I picked up."
