Bad Apples?
More images from Abu Ghraib via Australia's Dateline. Be sure to watch the video--warning there is a good bit of blood, nudity, and acts that are stomach turning. I guess the US media has been too busy with Quailgate to worry much about the US military torturing people and forcing the Bush regime to release the images as courts have ordered. If George Bush really believes in accountability as something more than just a talking point to be trotted out every four years or so when there's an election to steal, then he should order the full release of all the images of Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. Let the US public decide who the bad apples are and let us do so with all the facts on the table.
Update: More pictures at Salon.com and the above video in QT.
