[riderinthestorm]

I guess I'll be the one to ask the weekly question... where are the latest round of pictures?

I thought they were coming out today.

Any news yet?

3. I don't need to see them, but I DO want all of these "Shut up and Obey"

Right wingers to see them.

What's the hold up? The ACLU has some of them don't they?

5. Expect another government appeal tomorrow, or, failing that, a

mysterious fire.

6. I thought Hersh had a set, as well as the ACLU

Can't remember where I heard that but I was under the impression that there are a few sets of copies out there waiting for public release.

So a fire wouldn't completely eradicate the possibility of their release, iirc.

I'm just surprised there hasn't been any leaks of the pictures. I've read the descriptions and checked out somebody's sketches of a few of the pics but that nobody has leaked any of them?? Amazing.

Hersh: children raped at Abu Ghraib, Pentagon has videos

From Daily Kos' partial transcript of a video (link to REAL stream) of Seymour Hersh speaking at an ACLU event. He says the US government has videotapes of children being raped at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

" Some of the worst things that happened you don't know about, okay? Videos, um, there are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib ... The women were passing messages out saying 'Please come and kill me, because of what's happened' and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror. It's going to come out."

Link (via Warren). There's also a piece worth reading in this week's Newsweek about new allegations of rape and sexual torture at Abu Ghraib. Feature includes details on the identities of the Iraqi prisoners shown in those widely-circulated photographs -- including Satar Jabar (charged with carjacking, not terrorism), whose iconic hooded figure with wires attached is derisively described by many Iraqis as the "Statue of Liberty."

If released, the videos will be the clincher that brings down this whole filthy, rotten, stinking administration...

9. yes I've been asking FOREVER for that and video.

remember they had video too? This was supposed to be out in the open and not "classifed" and shunted to the side.

These things are obviously radioactive for the president and his men or they wouldn't have pulled out all the stops to keep them from hitting public.

10. Maybe that's why they are out of the country????

Maybe they realized that these tapes and pics were going to come out, and that their last stalling tactic hadn't worked...Better to be half-way across the glove when you are proven to be a goddamned torturing liar....
