Rumsfeld Warns of Photos Depicting Worse Abuses

Washington -- Not since the Vietnam War a generation ago has the credibility of top U.S. military commanders been challenged as aggressively and openly as it was Friday on Capitol Hill.

For more than six hours and with television cameras broadcasting the event around the world, members of both parties -- those who support the U.S. war in Iraq and those who don't -- expressed alarm over the Pentagon's seemingly snail-paced response to the gut-wrenching photographs that one Republican House member characterized as the public relations equivalent of Pearl Harbor.

As Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned that he had personally previewed more pictures, and that the worst is yet to come, many fear that the nation may be reaching a tipping point in its tolerance for what already has been the deadliest U.S. military conflict since Vietnam.

"I'm gravely concerned that many Americans will have the same impulse as I did when I saw (these) pictures, and that's to turn away from them," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a strong supporter of President Bush's policy in Iraq.

1. worse abuses.....

....are we talking like Holocaust level atrocities??

3. I would not be surprised....

since there were countless reports coming in from Afghanistan about
entire villages laid to waste. I can imagine that Iraq has suffered
similar consequences.
Now we know why the bushistas pulled the US out of the ICC...well,
too bad since International LAWS still can reach us in due time.

2. Americans ARE being turned away from these pictures.....

and the spin is using the WRONG words: ABUSE instead of TORTURE,
SEX WITH instead of RAPING/RAPE.
The American sheeple are being programmed to accept these things
as college "pranks".
