Abu Ghraib Torture Photos

  • Ag15
    The photos America doesn't want seen MORE photographs have been leaked of Iraqi citizens tortured by US soldiers at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison on the outskirts of Baghdad. Tonight the SBS Dateline program plans to broadcast about 60 previously unpublished photographs that the US Government has been fighting to keep secret in a court case with the American Civil Liberties Union. Although a US judge last year granted the union access to the photographs following a freedom-of-information request, the US Administration has appealed against the decision on the grounds their release would fuel anti-American sentiment. Some of the photos are similar to those published in 2004, others are different. They include photographs of six corpses, although the circumstances of their deaths are not clear. There are also pictures of what appear to be burns and wounds from shotgun pellets. The executive producer of Dateline, Mike Carey, said he was showing the pictures leaked to his program because it was important people understood what had happened at Abu Ghraib. Seven US guards were jailed following publication of the first batch of Abu Ghraib photographs in April 2004. Mr Carey said he could not explain why the photographs had not yet been published, as he thought it was likely that some journalists had them. "It think it's strange, maybe they think its more of the same."

2 Ron Paul articles- Why the net loves Ron Paul

The AP weighs in with an unoriginal yet mostly fair article on the Paul campaign, but this one is far superior, and sports this inventive banner:

An excerpt: "Unlike technocrats who think that progress and order only arise when the energies of society are directed by centralized goals, libertarians know that order springs spontaneously out of the free choices of millions of individuals interacting upon a sound institutionalized foundation of contractual law and property rights. Technophiles also embrace spontaneous order, and the internet is home to some of the most visible example of this phenomenon." digg it

Later:  USA Today's blog On Politics notices the AP article.
