Re: I Am Impressed by This Fucking Whore
Authenticity of new Abu Ghraib photos confirmed Thursday, February 16, 2006 The Australian has reported today that the Pentagon has confirmed the authenticity of the images aired by Australian television network SBS. Contradicting claims made by some media outlets, SBS Dateline's executive producer Mike Carey claimed on Thursday that the program's researchers have found cases of Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse that have not been dealt with by US authorities. He described the new images available to SBS as a "quantum leap" compared to the previously broadcast pictures. Carey announced that next week's program will show more abuse pictures, but he noted that some images featuring prisoners in sexually humiliating acts will not be broadcast, as they were deemed too graphic. Next week's program will also include interviews with a US soldier that has been convicted of prisoner abuse and another former soldier who witnessed the crimes. The Washington Post has noted, as suggested by SBS, that several news outlets including themselves have "not published a substantial number of photographs they are holding." The Washington Post further explains that "Newspapers that have held these images have been constrained, in large part, by the sheer graphic nature of them, especially the nudity." The Washington Post also cites SBS's ability to circumvent "the U.S. government's efforts to keep Abu Ghraib images out of the public eye" as another reason why the images were not first published by other media outlets. The U.S. internet news site Salon has now published some of their own previously held back pictures and confirmed that they possess "files and other electronic documents from an internal Army investigation into the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal", which include the originally published pictures, as well as the ones published by SBS. Salon notes that some of the files from the Criminal Investigation Command refer to CIA agents that interrogated prisoners at Abu Ghraib, but that no CIA officers have been prosecuted "despite the death of at least one Iraqi during a CIA interrogation there", underscoring the claim made by SBS that some of the pictures document previously unprosecuted abuse. The US government expressed concerns about the new abuse pictures being published. John Bellinger of the State Department told BBC, "We felt that it was an invasion of the privacy of the detainees themselves to have these photographs come out... (and that the publication could also) fan the flames around the world and cause potentially further violence". From: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Authenti...otos_confirmed |

Latest Abu Ghraib photos authentic, says official The Pentagon has confirmed the authenticity of a set of photographs of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib that were aired for the first time by Australian television, a defence official said. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the pictures matched those gathered by the US military two years ago as part of its investigation into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Australian public broadcaster SBS aired the images. The graphic photos show naked inmates at the jail forced into sexually humiliating positions, handcuffed to beds and hooded. The US defence official said only one of the photographs could not be authenticated because there were no people in it. "The other 14 can be matched to a CID photo log and are authentic," he said. The CID is the army criminal investigation unit that probed the abuse scandal. "There is nothing new here," he said. The images "have been previously investigated as part of the Abu Ghraib investigation". Three of the photographs were from a batch of 70 images whose release had been ordered by a US court in response to a lawsuit by a group of human rights organisations. The Justice Department has appealed the court ruling on the grounds that their release could inflame violence in the Muslim world. A Pentagon spokesman raised those concerns anew on Wednesday. "The (Defence) Department believes that the further release of images could only further inflame and possibly incite unnecessary violence in the world and would endanger our military men and women that are serving in places around the world," said Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman. The images have surfaced at a time when tensions in the Muslim world are already high over cartoons published in a Danish newspaper and reprinted in other European newspapers satirising the Prophet Mohammed as a terrorist. Violent protests have erupted in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Muslims have organised boycotts of Danish goods. Mr Whitman declined to comment on the latest images but said that the Pentagon has fully investigated all the photographs and video of abuse handed over by Specialist Joseph Darby, the whistleblower who brought the scandal to light. Only a small number of those images have been made public, but the Pentagon is believed to have gathered a voluminous file of photographs and images documenting the abuse. - AFP From: http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems...2/s1571138.htm |
