Given the latest Abu Graib pics - what horrors are still kept secret?
I'm too sensitive to look at the Abu Graib pictures myself. But I've read enough about them to know they're pretty bad. I've also seen one or two that were openly displayed, such as the one currently on the BBC web page. Given that these are pics that are now public - what other horrors are still being hidden from public view? It makes me ill to think about it... What kind of monsters can come up with this stuff? BushCo is a nightmare that we can't wake up from!

1. videos of children being raped in front of their parents.
Other than that, not much.

Nothing to see here, move along.

He claims it's what's on the video tapes the government doesn't want released

7. walldude, I think I'm happy these are out, so don't feel bad.
From what I'm understanding, the worst are yet to come.
We've been waiting for months for the proof that we are no longer
a viable ... never mind. Sigh.

4. We don't know...
A judge ordered them released months ago, but the Gov. has not released them yet.

Hersh said there are videos, in the possesion of our government that show this. Soldiers? probably not. Secret Ops most likely.

It's such a sick concept I really haven't looked into it.

8. Bad enough to get tanked in the woods and blow a friend's face off
just to divert public attention for twenty minutes.

11. These weren't any more horrible than the ones already released
Edited on Thu Feb-16-06 02:59 AM by Harald Ragnarsson
IMHO.

Except for one, a large pool/splatter of blood on the floor and wall with what looked like some type of white matter in it. Not knowing the context, but taking a guess, mine would be someone took a picture of a room after someone had had their brains blown out.

We know many detainees have been killed, we just don't know how many at this point.

Edit: Watching the video, it sounds like there are more of these disturbing pictures yet. Graner and England having sex. I don't know if my stomach could handle that.
