"Were these the same "most dangerous of detainees" who meekly formed a human pyramid in front of a 100 pound female?"

sink, with all due respect, do you really think that the 100 pound female was acting all by herself? Do you think it's possible that there might have been 5 or 6 armed guards just out of the field of view of the camera lens?

Just the fact that the 100 pound girl was smiling for the camera as she pointed to the crotch of the Iraqi detainees with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth should be proof enough for you, that many of these pictures were staged and taken for effect. Who ever took the pictures and distributed them, had an agenda, the pictures were taken to do harm, and just the fact that some of them were staged, should lead any rational person to be skeptical of why these pictures were taken, and the motives of who took them

With all due respect, the "agenda" was to humiliate Iraqi prisoners. And, to keep "mementos" of that humiliation, so these dumb-ass reservists could show the folks back home that they treated these camel-jocks like dirt.

You don't think some of those hillbillies in West Virginia would high-five over these pictures?

Why, Lynndie England's family is high-fiving over them NOW!

I seriously doubt it will turn out that way and if it doesn't, this forum is going to look like a bunch of reality deniers. Back in 2000 anybody who said that the Bush/Gore election was close got called "hand-wringers". Turned out that there were a lot of reality-deniers instead of hand-wringers. Hope it turns out the other way, but odds are not good.

I remain furious at Hackworth.
The investigation was underway.
No cover-up.
Then along came CBS, with thanks,
apparently owed to Hackworth.

So in your view, the disgusting nature of the pictures is not cause for revulsion, but rather to question the pics themselves?

Strange logic.
