The Drudge Report (at DrudgeReport.com) has broken the story that the torture pictures Obama now seems to want to suppress, have already been published by Oz TV, SBS Dateline, and Raw Story back in 2006.
Now, thanks to the wonders of the internet, these disgusting photos are making their way around the globe at warp speed.
After the posting of the torture photos, the American Civil Liberties Union issued the following statement:
“We continue to see undeniable evidence that abuse and torture has been widespread and systematic, yet high level government officials have not been held accountable for creating the policies that led to these atrocities,” said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. “We need to look up the chain of military command, because when the rule of law is not followed all of our personal freedoms are threatened. President Bush should appoint an independent counsel to uncover the full truth about the extent of the abuse and who is ultimately responsible.”
As much as I think it’s important to be informed, I really just can’t bring myself to post these hideous photos here.
If you would like to see them (and they are quite graphic), you may view the torture photos here.
