Photographs of Iraqi prisoner abuse which U.S. President Barack Obama does not want released include images of apparent rape and sexual abuse, Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on Thursday.
The images are among photographs included in a 2004 report into prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison conducted by U.S. Major General Antonio Taguba.
Taguba included allegations of rape and sexual abuse in his report, and on Wednesday he confirmed to the Daily Telegraph that images supporting those allegations were also in the file.
"These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency," Taguba, who retired in January 2007, was quoted as saying in the paper.
He said he supported Obama's decision not to release them, even though Obama had previously pledged to disclose all images relating to abuses at Abu Ghraib and other U.S.-run prisons in Iraq.
"I am not sure what purpose their release would serve other than a legal one," Taguba said. "The sequence would be to imperil our troops, the only protectors of our foreign policy, when we most need them, and British troops who are trying to build security in Afghanistan.
"The mere depiction of these pictures is horrendous enough, take my word for it."
The newspaper said at least one picture showed an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another is said to show a male translator raping a male detainee.
Others are said to depict sexual assaults with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube.
The photographs relate to 400 alleged cases of abuse carried out at Abu Ghraib and six other prisons between 2001 and 2005.
GODFUCKINGDAMNIT. I mean, I knew those prisoners had been tortured, so I guess I knew this kind of thing must have gone on. BUT SHIT FUCKING GODDAMN it's one thing to suspect it and another to have it confirmed.
WHAT THE FUCK? I MEAN SERIOUSLY - WHAT THE EVERLOVIN' MOTHER FUCKIN' WHAT???
Fucking Cheney should be thrown up against a wall and SHOT for starting this shit. AFTER he gets plugged good and hard by a gang of Iraqi prison guards. With TRUNCHEONS. and RIFLE BUTTS. and a fucking PHOSPHORESCENT TUBE.
MOTHERFUCKER!!!
