US attacks Iraq abuse images leak
15 February 2006,


The US has said images broadcast on Australian TV showing the apparent abuse of Iraqi detainees by US soldiers should not have been released.

A US defence department official said the images could "further inflame and cause unnecessary violence".

The official said action had already been taken against US soldiers guilty of abuse at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib jail.

Australian TV has now aired previously unseen images of the apparent abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib in 2003.

The images on SBS TV are thought to be from the same source as those that caused an outcry around the world and led to several US troops being jailed.

The new images show "homicide, torture and sexual humiliation", SBS said.

1. What about the child prisoners being sodomized?
Once those pictures get out, then the world will see what the Bush junta is really made of.

6. Apparently, this wasn't a leak
the pictures were put out under that FOIA battle, but they decided to publish them in Australia before another court order could be issued to stop them.
