I keep finding myself reverting back to the actual evidence so far. Every picture I have seen so far does not represent an atrocity or a form of physical torture. All I see is humiliation and a small degree of abuse. After all, we are dealing with POW's who were captured on the battlefield, not some drunk or jay walker who was arrested for a minor offense. We are talking about trained killers

You're so on target here.

I've not seen anything that is as outrageous as some people are pretending there is about.

I HAVE HEARD that there are "rape" and other photos that are STAGED and apparently came from porn sites long before Dec'03. I will trust that the military has been able to sort out what is real and what isn't in their investigation.

These prisoners deserved far worse treatment than the actual evidence I have seen they recieved, if there were some chance that they would yield up useful intelligence info as a result.

other photos that are STAGED

Many of the British 'soldier' photos were stages, proved to be misrepresentations. Wrong uniforms, wrong weapons, wrong equipment for the British currently in Iraq. Also, a female webmaster said many of them were staged, with porn actors, from her porn website. Her website has since been removed.

Careful on relying on thinking no abuse happened. People are facing charges for real abuse and Rumsfeld himself characterized the additional photos thus:

First, beyond abuse of prisoners, there are other photos that depict incidents of physical violence toward prisoners, acts that can only be described as blatantly sadistic, cruel and inhuman.
