How digusted and ashamed was i when i watched this on the news a few hrs ago!
On April 29, CBS television's "60 Minutes II" program screened graphic images of Iraqi prisoners being tortured and sexually humiliated by US troops at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. The photographs, which show American soldiers- men and women-smiling, laughing or giving thumbs-up signs alongside naked Iraqi prisoners, expose the sadistic and brutal methods employed by American forces and provide more evidence of the catalog of war crimes being committed by US-led forces in Iraq.
One of the pictures shows an Iraqi prisoner standing on a box with a hood over his head. Electric wires are attached to his hands. He was told that if he fell off the box he would be electrocuted. Another photograph is of naked male detainees stacked in a pyramid shape, one of the men has a slur written on his skin in English. In some pictures, prisoners are positioned to simulate sex with each other while US troops point and laugh.
The photos have surfaced in connection with the suspension in March of 17 members of the 800th Military Police Brigade for mistreatment and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in November and December of last year. The jail was infamous for torture and executions under the Saddam Hussein regime.
Six of those suspended were charged with dereliction of duty, cruelty and maltreatment, assault and indecent acts-the military's term for sexual abuse-and could be court-martialed and jailed. ..... click here for the rest of the story http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=841

What a joke is.... when the news broke this morning, everybody was up in arms talking about how sick and evil the American's are.... A few hrs later they showed more recent pictures of soldiers urinating and whiping the Iraqi soldiers, only this time they were British soldiers.... That shut everybody up!
Anyway i just wanted to know your thought's.... i personally find it embarrassing and sickning.... This is no different from what sadam did imo.
Seraya.

i am simply saying how disgusted i am with the "group" of soldiers who stripped, whiped and sexually abused the iraqui soldiers. I don't care what side you are on.... they didnt deserve that as far as i'm concerned.... weren't they doing exactly what the american and british soldiers are doing?.... fighting for their country?
