"Torture of Iraqi Prisoners"

Y'know, I'll bet it's of great comfort to the Iraqi civilians being pictured undergoing torture by American forces that Saddam isn't responsible. I imagine that, as they are told that the wires attached to their bodies will electricute them if they fall from the box they are made to stand on for hours at a time, or when they are forced to have sex with other prisoners for the amusement of their guards, they are thanking Allah that it's good old Americans torturing them, and not those nasty Ba'athists.

.RAM is a Real Player format isn't it?

If it plays on WMP, I may have a chance. My BB at home is pretty unstable at the moment due to a fault just outside my house :(

Ach. Its windows media player, but I can't even get a percent downloaded. I'll have to wait until I get home I guess.

Sadly I can't - this machine can't and won't get Real Player :(

I like the excuse they came out with though, that no-one sent them guidelines on how they could treat the prisoners. I haven't got a book that tells me how to treat my Granny, so next time I see her I'll wire her up to the mains. What? No-one said I shouldn't.

*sniff* It isn't a competition yaknow.

(seriously though, you can view the report on CBSnews.com. I'm streaming it now)

I think this had been rumoured for quite some time, but the leaking of the pictures to the American press meant it had to be exposed. Did you know that CBS held the story off for 2 weeks? They were asked to by the army, but decided to get in there first after they found out other news agencies had the pictures.

The mis-spelling on the prisoner summed it up for me - retards.

appalling. Truly and utterly appalling.

17 Officers, the soldiers under them have apparently been suspended until further notice too.
