Unfortunately, that was not the case. They were tortured simply for the enjoyment of the guards.

If any of them had time-critical info, they would have been drugged under controlled circumstances and interrogated there, securely. The folks doing it would SURE AS HELL not have allowed some bunch of ciggarette-smoking peanut galleries to film it for their amusement.

Do yourself a favor and read the Pentagon report. Then wash your hands.

That's what the investigation is supposed to determine and punish those responsible.

But as I said, releasing the pictures puts American lives at risk and serves no positive purpose.

There was much that was not allowed to be published during WW II, because it was deemed that "the people's right to know" was outweighed by the danger to the success of the mission and American and coalition lives.

If the media had a reponsible bone in their body, they wouldn't have published the pictures. The information was already public.
