Future Revelations in Interrogation Scandal Will Be Horrific
... After the session, Graham told reporters outside the chamber that there will be additional allegations of "rape and murder," apparently related to the content of the videos, according to NBC News. .... "There was a special womenâs section. There were young boys in there. There were things done to young boys that were videotaped. Itâs much worse," Hersh said during an appearance on Fox News Tuesday. NBC News reported further details Friday evening, quoting unnamed sources who said that the unreleased material showed a prisoner being beaten nearly to death, an Iraqi female being raped by American soldiers and male children being raped by Iraqi guards. The L.A. Times reported that the unreleased material includes images of at least one detainee being forced to engage in oral sex. The Washington Post and NBC News both reported that the videos include images of soldiers posing "inappropriately" with a dead body, apparently a detainee slain in prison. .... Suhaib al-Baz, journalist for al Jazeerah television told British broadcaster ITV that the pictures were taken as part of a contest among the soldiers at the prison. "They were enjoying taking photographs of the torture. There was a daily competition to see who could take the most gruesome picture," al-Baz told ITV. "The winnerâs photo would be stuck on a wall and also put on their laptop computers as a screensaver." Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2004-05-08 |
