It?s the "liberation" of the Iraqi people ? and it isn?t pretty?.
These are just some of the photos that led to an investigation into
conditions at the Abu Ghraib prison, once Saddam?s torture palace, and
now run by the occupation authorities, as revealed in
a shocking report broadcast by CBS on 60 Minutes II.
Brig. Gen. Janice Karpinski, in charge of the occupiers? detention
facilities throughout Iraq, has been dismissed from her post, and 6
U.S. soldiers face charges.
"This is international standards," said Karpinski, in an earlier
interview with CBS. "It's the best care available in a prison facility."
Anybody can see that?.

These images are from the 60 Minutes II broadcast. CBS
says that it has twelve of these photographs, though there are dozens
more. Among them:

to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner.
