Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, May 6 (UPI) -- The Washington Post has obtained more photographs of U.S. troops abusing Iraqi prisoners and said Thursday they are as vulgar as those made public last week.
Mixed in with more than 1,000 digital pictures obtained by Post are photographs of naked men, apparently prisoners, sprawled on top of one another while soldiers stand around them.
The images have been circulating among military police who served at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, and are similar to those broadcast a week ago on CBS's "60 Minutes II."
They provide further visual evidence of the chaos at the prison detailed in a report by Army Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba. His report, which relied in part on the first batch of photographs, found "numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses" that were inflicted on detainees.
The newest group of photographs were taken from the summer of 2003 through the winter, and range from images of everyday military life to pictures showing crude simulations of sex among soldiers.
They also show U.S. soldiers abusing prisoners, many of whom wear ID bands, but the newspaper said it could not eliminate the possibility that some of them were staged.
