Why we're publishing the new Abu Ghraib photos

 

America -- and the world -- has the right to know what was done in our

name.

Salon exclusive: The Abu Ghraib files

 

Never-published photos, and an internal Army report, show more Iraqi

prisoner abuse -- evidence the government is fighting to hide.

 

The source who gave the CID material to Salon is someone who spent

time at Abu Ghraib as a uniformed member of the military and is

familiar with the CID investigation.

 

The DVD containing the material includes a June 6, 2004, CID

investigation report written by Special Agent James E. Seigmund. That

report includes the following summary of the material included: " A

review of all the computer media submitted to this office revealed a

total of 1,325 images of suspected detainee abuse, 93 video files of

suspected detainee abuse, 660 images of adult pornography, 546 images

of suspected dead Iraqi detainees, 29 images of soldiers in simulated

sexual acts, 20 images of a soldier with a Swastika drawn between his

eyes, 37 images of Military Working dogs being used in abuse of

detainees and 125 images of questionable acts. "

A U.S. soldier who tortured an Iraqi general to death got his wrist

slapped. Yet his appalling sentence made a certain sense.

America can't take it anymore

The Bush administration has embraced torture as a key part of the " war

on terror. " Finally, members of Congress, the military and the CIA are

speaking out against the abuse.

A rare look at the entire Abu Ghraib report reveals that

inexperienced, under-supervised private-sector employees actively took

part in horrifying prisoner abuse.
