Questions about the torture
Has anyone identified the Iraqis who were being tortured? Obviously some of the people in that prison were people who had attacked the troops and some were just people who got rounded up and hustled in there (several hundred were released this weekend). Was there any selectivity as to who got to get their humiliating picture taken? Who did the selecting?

Don't get me wrong. Even if those being tortured were proven to be hostile combatants, that wouldn't make it right. I'm just curious as to how organized the process was. 1600 or more pictures is a lot to take. Who did the actual picture snapping?

2. One of them filed a lawsuit.
One of them filed a lawsuit.

The one in the photo with Lynnide England pointing at his genitals.

He says he was picked up at random, and the photo was shown to him while he was in prison.

Sorry, no link. I saw this on tv recently, but I don't remember which channel.
