Nudity! Sex! Boy-on-Boy Torture!

[NightOwwl]

Who cares that WaPo is releasing new videos,pictures, and reports of Abu Ghraib torture? Who cares about the intelligence report finding fault at the highest levels of the Pentagon? Who cares that Bush is in his hidey-hole while all this is going down? Who gives a shit, let's just keep talking about the Swift Boat Liars.

Three Army generals said yesterday that an array of sometimes shocking detainee abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison came in part at the hands of more than two dozen military intelligence soldiers and civilian contractors, widening the scope of the international scandal as one Army general conceded that some of the acts qualified as torture.

In releasing an investigative report yesterday about the actions of the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade, the generals acknowledged that chaos and confusion absorbed Abu Ghraib. Interrogators did not know the rules and thus flagrantly broke them. Detainees were questioned while naked, the CIA hid prisoners from international human rights groups, and detainees were left hooded and handcuffed in painful positions.

In sometimes agonizing detail, the generals detailed acts of sodomy, beatings, nudity, lengthy isolation, and the use of unmuzzled dogs in a sadistic game of making detainees urinate and defecate in fear.

"The abuses spanned from direct physical assault, such as delivering head blows rendering detainees unconscious, to sexual posing and forced participation in group masturbation," the Army report says. "At the extremes were the death of a detainee an alleged rape committed by a U.S. translator and observed by a female soldier, and the alleged sexual assault of an unknown female."
