HRW Calls for Abu Ghraib Probe
Human Rights Watch is calling for a probe into the alleged - well unless the photographs shown earlier this week, you know - torture and sexual abuse of Iraqi POWs at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison.
Caution: Graphic images!
These are the Abu Ghraib photos.
In a move to 'explain' the depraved behavior og the U.S. personnel involved, a military spokesperson claims that the six U.S. soldiers facing court-martial for the most egregious acts, "did not receive in-depth training on the Geneva Conventions, which governs the handling of captives."
So, it's a 'sensitivity training' issue? No. That behavior was that of animals. Not the human animal.
The military is taking some action. They are to be commended for that.
We just lost the Arab street, all of Islam, and any shred of empathy the world may have felt for the U.S.
