The Post story linked to Drudge notes that the guys in the photographed naked threesome were accused of raping a teenage boy. That doesn't excuse the behavior, but it does provide context, context that is completely lacking in the Times article. Not surprising.
Hmmm. The news reports make the charge that guards did this to him.
Is the Post going to print a photo of the rape or, lacking that, an artist's depiction of it?
I doubt it as it would not advance the cause of sabotaging the U.S. war effort.
".. On Oct. 24, the MPs decided to punish three detainees suspected of raping a teenage boy at the prison. To make the men confess, the MPs stripped them and handcuffed them together.
"They started to handcuff the two rapist together in odd positions/ways," England told investigators. "Once the two were handcuffed together, the third guy was brought over and handcuffed between the other two. Then they were laying on the floor handcuffed together, so all the other prisoners could see them. CPL Graner and SSG Frederick then asked me to start taking pictures with the camera."
The resulting images, which show several soldiers other than Graner and Frederick, have been cited by Graner's attorney as evidence that such practices were condoned by military intelligence officers. .."
If the alleged MI officers in the photograph knew the reason for the treatment, I could see them not interferring. If those detainees on the floor in the picture did that, they deserved much worse.
