Tehran Times, Iran
U.S.-Style Democracy Comes to Abu Ghraib

Did the White House and Pentagon allow the dissemination of these photos, which have served to increase animosity toward U.S. soldiers in Iraq, as part of a larger plan? ... In one word, yes, since there were definitely ulterior motives behind this propaganda move. ... In fact, it seems that Hollywood directors and White House officials have both played a significant role in arranging these tragicomic scenes. The U.S. intention is obvious. At any rate, the people of Iraq believe that the U.S. is trying to foster sympathy for the prisoners, who are mostly elements from the former Baath regime, so that Iraqis will not feel inclined to retaliate against them after they are released.

Wow now I've heard everything. Isn't it amazing how people can twist something to suit their own agenda? Iran should butt out IMHO, but they won't they will ALL milk this cow until it's dead.
