201. Not convinced yet ??
Rumsfeld: It gets worse
By ALAN FREEMAN
From Saturday's Globe and Mail

Washington — A contrite Donald Rumsfeld apologized yesterday to Iraqi prisoners abused by their American captors, and warned that the outrage will worsen if other images of the actions of U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison become public.

"There are a lot more photographs and videos that exist," the U.S. Defence Secretary told the Senate armed services committee. "If these are released to the public, obviously it's going to make matters worse. That's just a fact.

"I mean, I looked at them last night and they're hard to believe," he continued glumly, without going into detail.
...
"The pictures I've seen depict conduct, behaviour that is so brutal and so cruel and so inhumane that anyone engaged in it or involved in it would have to be brought to justice," he said. ...

The shredder (wood chopper) story has never been verified. It has been disputed. I heard a former prisoner today say HE had had a toenail ripped off. And a back tooth pulled (no dentist).

If you're not convinced yet, maybe the new, improved, graphic photos/videos will convince you. Even D. Rumsfeld believes they are "inhumane".
Please let us know if they meet your standard of "torture".
