Rape has nothing to do w/ sexual orientation, nor does pedophilia.

Besides, were there any women prisoners for the non-homosexuals to rape if they were so moved?

Yes, according to the article (and the redacted line I excerpted) they were "raping women" as well as men.

The media never does refer to Saddam Hussein's sons' rape rooms or Saddam's team lopping off hands at Abu Ghraib or disemboweling people there.

Ted Kennedy proclaimed that Abu Ghraib had simply reopened under new management. As horrible as these actions by US persons were, there is NO equivalence to what happened there under Saddam Hussein (or as Hunter S. Thompson said on his ESPN blog, worse than the most horrific Nazi attrocities).
