2006-05-26 Iraq

I was just recently talking to my Arabic teacher about the use of torture in Egypt and Iraq, and many other things. I had just helped him set up his DVD recorder. The talk turned to Abu Ghraib and how the situation in Palestine and Iraq was on Arabic television every single day. I mentioned the files published by Salon.com, and it turned out that he didn’t know about them. So I promised to look for the files and send him some links.

Time to remember. Here are the links I sent him.

• Never-published photos, and an internal Army report, show more Iraqi prisoner abuse – evidence the government is fighting to hide. ¹
• A letter from the editor: By continuing to publish documentation of the abuse, we hope to shed light on a chapter in American history that this administration has tried to keep in the shadows. ²
• 279 photographs and 19 videos from the Army’s internal investigation record a harrowing three months of detainee abuse inside the notorious prison – and make clear that many of those responsible have yet to be held accountable. ³
