The Abu Ghraib Prison Photos

The Abu Ghraib Prison Photos

(warning: graphic photos below) Updated May 9th, 2004 The New Yorker has released this latest photo. An Iraqi prisoner and American military dog handlers. Other photographs show the Iraqi on the ground, bleeding. The Washington Post released more photos: It’s the "liberation" of the Iraqi people – and it isn’t pretty…. These are just some of the photos that led to an investigation into conditions at the Abu Ghraib prison, once Saddam’s torture palace, and now run by the occupation authorities, as revealed in a shocking report broadcast by CBS on 60 Minutes II. Brig. Gen. Janice Karpinski, in charge of the occupiers’ detention facilities throughout Iraq, has been dismissed from her post, and 6 U.S. soldiers face charges. "This is international standards," said Karpinski, in an earlier interview with CBS. "It's the best care available in a prison facility." Anybody can see that…. Below, Brigadier-General Janis Karpinski, who was responsible for military jails in Iraq, and has now been suspended in the abuse probe, meets with Donald Rumsfeld. And even more disturbing screen shots made available from Global Free Press via TheMemoryHole. These images are from the 60 Minutes II broadcast. CBS says that it has twelve of these photographs, though there are dozens more. Among them: The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner. "60 Minutes" Logo Copyright CBS News: Reprinted for Fair Use
