Salon.com Posts hundreds of Abu Ghraib picture and commentary
Salon.com ^ | 3/15/06 | Joan Walsh

Posted on 03/15/2006 10:07:52 AM PST by Always Learning

The Abu Ghraib files 279 photographs and 19 videos from the Army's internal investigation record a harrowing three months of detainee abuse inside the notorious prison -- and make clear that many of those responsible have yet to be held accountable. Editor's note: The 10 galleries of photo and video evidence appear chronologically in the left column, followed by an additional Salon report on prosecutions for abuse and an overview of Pentagon investigations and other resources. The nine essays accompanying the photo galleries were reported and written by Michael Scherer and Mark Benjamin. Photo and video captions were compiled by Page Rockwell. Additional research, reporting and writing for "The Abu Ghraib Files" were contributed by Jeanne Carstensen, Mark Follman, Page Rockwell and Tracy Clark-Flory. By Joan Walsh

Nothing more is going to happen no matter how many pictures come out. Most American's know these are terrorist and don't care anything about them. If a freakin cartoon will trigger Muslim Riots then people are pretty convinced that they'll riot for just about anything.

Let's see. One local chapter had the pledges race nude to a block of ice and pick up an olive with their butt cheeks and then race to a bucket and drop it in.

Not exactly hanging people by their thumbs.

I can see why the Village People favored the Navy.

They were Islamofascist combatants in Afghanistan and Iraq and supporters of Osama bin Laden who was responsible for 911.

Any more stupid questions?

And this, folks, is more than anything else why the likes of Lynndie England deserve significant punishment for doing what they did.

In behaving as they did, the guards at Abu Ghraib have made life much, much easier for the terrorists by undermining the war effort both here and there.

9/11 was the work of a terrorist group, when Abu-Graib was a military jail under exclusive US authority. See the difference ?

Oh, yes, taking pictures of Islamofascist pigs with women's underwear on their heads is SOOOO much worse than crashing airplanes into buildings and beheading tourists.

So how long have you been an Islamofascist?

And how many of your screen names have been banned?

Salon.com has their priorities seriously confused.

Actually, this is a ratings booster for them. It is a well-known fact that there is a sub-group of gays that really get off on these photos.

Salon just added a porn site for some of their core readers, that's all.

And he evidently came to the attention of the admin moderator.

But I didn't do it. I wanted to see what his respose would be.

For balance they should also post hundreds of pictures of INNOCENT people jumping from the WTC on 911.

The 911-Iraq connection? 911 was perpetrated by al quaeda. Iraq harbored al quaeda pre and post 911.

You appear hesitant to propose the theory that Saddam didn't harbor al quaeda.

ABC News, March 16, 2006: New Documents from Saddam Hussein's Archives Discuss Bin Laden, WMDs

Editor's Note: The controversial claim that Osama bin Laden was cooperating with Saddam Hussein is an ongoing matter of intense debate. While the assertions contained in this document clearly support the claim, the sourcing is questionable — i.e. an unnamed Afghan "informant" reporting on a conversation with another Afghan "consul." The date of the document — four days after 9/11 — is worth noting but without further corroboration, this document is of limited evidentiary value.
