This from a speech by seymour hersh (who has seen some of them):
"Some of the worst things that happened that you don’t know about. OK? Videos. There are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men...hence my furiously angry use of the 'MF' word yesterday...
The women were passing messages out saying please come and kill me because of what’s happened. And basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children, in cases that have been [video] recorded, the boys were sodomized, with the cameras rolling, and the worst above all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking.
That your government has, and they’re in total terror it’s going to come out. It’s impossible to say to yourself, how did we get there, who are we, who are these people that sent us there."

The latest set of pix that the ACLU wanted released contained 80 pix and 4 videos - although the numbers are quite fluid for some reason. I think there was originally 112 photos.
I can categorically state that there was a full media blackout on the reporting in the US. The deadline for release dates and court cases and came and went repeatedly, without ever being reported...
Meanwhile, the egadministration is still spinning furiously on the TV today saying stuff like "the photos are shameful - but they only show humiliation. We aren't like the enemy - they torture and kill people."
grrrrrrrrr.

Don't lose the anger over this. I have a close relative who was raped as a nine year old boy. He's nearly fifty now. Every single day he has to convince himself all over not to commit suicide. That's because there are no walls left inside him, no sense of self. 'He' no longer exists, just a thing that gets up. Don't let anyone tell you that people get over this.
Rumsefeld, Bush, Cheney all knew about renditions, Abu Gharib, the whole works since they authorised them. Even their own soldiers they throw away like paper cups. They're pieces of shit and they should be flushed away.
bastards
makes me furious.
like i said - i hope they rot forever.
