hand what happened..they don't need photo's , they have moms and dads, brothers and sister who have told them all about what occured and their discription was very vivid...
It is Americans that are clueless..
and it is Americans that must come to grips with truth and then hold those responsible accountable..it is our responsibility.
We must hold everyone responsible for torture and crimes against humanity accountable..it is the law and part of the Geneva Conventions ..this isn't a matter of we don't want to..we have that obligation under the law..our law..since we signed the treaties and they became part of our constitution.
A few soldiers were held accountable..and we were "TOLD" IS WAS DONE BY ROGUE SOLDIERS..WELL WE DO NOT KNOW THAT.. we only know what we were told..and if there is one person left here at DU that does not know we have been lied to over and over and over again..well i have swamp land for that dummy!
We do not know if others are in the remaining Photos..could black opps people be in the photos? are there superior officers in those pictures?? What if Jeff gannon was in one of those pictures?? anyone remember seeing pcitures of "CAMP GANNON"?? or do only I have that memory????
And yes this is about torture pictures..but remember some died with the toture..and some were women and most horribly some were children..
We own those pictures..we paid for them with our taxes, we paid for whoever was there and took the pictures..as an employee..we paid the salareies of those torturing..it was done in our name..
I want those photo's that i am part owner of released so we have the full truth!
don't forget this...after the congress got to see the photo's and video's..
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told reporters, "The American public needs to understand we're talking about rape and murder here. We're not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience." He did not elaborate.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/08/iraq/main6163... edit to add..

America admits suspects died in interrogations

American military officials acknowledged yesterday that two prisoners captured in Afghanistan in December had been killed while under interrogation at Bagram air base north of Kabul – reviving concerns that the US is resorting to torture in its treatment of Taliban fighters and suspected al-Qa'ida operatives.
American military officials acknowledged yesterday that two prisoners captured in Afghanistan in December had been killed while under interrogation at Bagram air base north of Kabul – reviving concerns that the US is resorting to torture in its treatment of Taliban fighters and suspected al-Qa'ida operatives.
A spokesman for the air base confirmed that the official cause of death of the two men was "homicide", contradicting earlier accounts that one had died of a heart attack and the other from a pulmonary embolism.
The men's death certificates, made public earlier this week, showed that one captive, known only as Dilawar, 22, from the Khost region, died from "blunt force injuries to lower extremities complicating coronary artery disease" while another captive, Mullah Habibullah, 30, suffered from blood clot in the lung that was exacerbated by a "blunt force injury".
US officials previously admitted using "stress and duress" on prisoners including sleep deprivation, denial of medication for battle injuries, forcing them to stand or kneel for hours on end with hoods on, subjecting them to loud noises and sudden flashes of light and engaging in culturally humiliating practices such as having them kicked by female officers.
While the US claims this still constitutes "humane" treatment, human rights groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have denounced it as torture as defined by international treaty. The US has also come under heavy criticism for its reported policy of handing suspects over to countries such as Jordan, Egypt or Morocco, where torture techniques are an established part of the security apparatus. Legally, Human Rights Watch says, there is no distinction between using torture directly and subcontracting it out.
