u lyk dem leaked torture pix amirite?

[Kiro]

A day after Obama announced he would stop torture photos from being viewed by the public… new torture photos of prisoners in Afghanistan and Iraq were leaked. Read more and see more graphic torture photos (NSFW) below.


These photos include prisoners hung upside down from a bed frame, naked man covered in excrement, and other graphic torture images.

Supposedly there are more photos that have not been released to include military guards threatening to sexually assault a detainee with a broomstick and prisoners with hoods over their heads on transport planes with Playboy magazines opened to pictures of nude women on their laps.

These torture images came out of Australia yesterday where they were originally obtained by the channel SBS in 2006 in the wake of the Abu Ghraib scandal. They were not distributed around the world at that time but are believed to be among those President Obama wants to block.

President Obama did a complete 180 degree turn on his stance on the torture photos. Obama previously committed to allowing thousands of images to be published but changed his mind after senior generals warned that their publication could place US troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan in greater danger.

The president’s change of heart brought bitter criticism from the left wingers and the American Civil Liberties Union, which had brought a freedom of information case against the US government applying to see the pictures.

Pledging to fight the case all the way to the Supreme Court, the ACLU accused him of betraying his principles of open government and “complicity in covering up” the “commission of torture by the Bush administration”.

“It is true that these photos would be disturbing. The day we are no longer disturbed by such repugnant acts would be a sad one,” said Anthony Romero, executive director.

“Only by looking squarely in the mirror, acknowledging the crimes of the past and achieving accountability can we move forward and ensure that these atrocities are not repeated.”

The White House legal team was yesterday preparing for a June 9 deadline to present its case that it would be against the interests of national security to make the pictures public.

Please note these torture photos shown below are graphic and disturbing.

Our nation is safer because of these patriots.

[Blarg]

We only torture the masochists.

[Shiroikage]

Obviously these fellows did that to themselves to make it appear they were tortured.

[Kiro]

Apparently they have doctors there for "safety". Safety basically means they'll stop you from dying, make you comfortable again w/ drugs or whatever just so they can continue to torture you!

Boy oh boy!

Might increase public outcry to punish those who broke the law.

I consider that to be a positive.

[BRP]

All of these pictures are pieces of art

lol, that would never happen.

what will happen is it will help recruit people who may have not otherwise been recruited to blow themselves up and kill soldiers

Then we should stop torturing/abusing/humiliating people.

It's contradictory (and cynical) to imply that torture is less dangerous than pictures of torture. They know we're doing this stuff already.

[Churchill]

lol, k

[0ni0n]

Why every american appear in torture pics always have that sadistic smirks on their faces as if they are having the time of their life at 6flag?

The sexual humiliation is psychological (rape for example has always been a part of war). Less to do with being 'American' and more to do with being powerful.
