on a news & politics message board I frequent... as if the headline wasn't nauseating enough, the apathy of the online community was heartbreaking.

A friend of mind posted this on myspace:

The media is silent, so it's up to the people..and the bloggers...

http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/b ... 07_15.html" Seymour Hersh (reporter for The New Yorker) has seen the unreleased videotapes and pictures.

Heres an exert of his comments:

"Some of the worse that happened that you don't know about, ok. Videos, there are women there. Some of you may have read they were passing letters, communications out to their men. …

"The women were passing messages saying, 'Please come and kill me, because of what's happened.' Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. The worst about all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has."

Child Abuse at Abu Ghraib


Posted on Sat Jul 23, 2005 at 12:13:27 PM EST

Data is emerging, no matter how the administration attempts to hide it, that the new photos and video of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison include the torture of children.
Norway's Prime Minister's office says it plans to address the situation with the U.S. "in a very severe and direct way."

Could this mean losing yet another ally in the Iraq occupation? Amnesty International in Norway has said that Norway can no longer continue their occupation of Iraq, or their support of US policy in this matter.
And some countries, as Tom Tomorrow notes, actually listen to their activists.

While there isn't even an inkling of this in the US Mainstream media, all over the world people are beginning to read about the US abusing children at Abu Ghraib.

Der Spiegel

http://www.sundayherald.com/43796
The Sunday Herald in Scotland has a piece on the abuse of children at the notorious prison:

http://www.sundayherald.com/43796
Iraq's Child Prisoners, written one year ago:

It was early last October that Kasim Mehaddi Hilas says he witnessed the rape of a boy prisoner aged about 15 in the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. “The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets,” he said in a statement given to investigators probing prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib. “Then, when I heard the screaming I climbed the door … and I saw [the soldier’s name is deleted] who was wearing a military uniform.” Hilas, who was himself threatened with being sexually assaulted in Abu Graib, then describes in horrific detail how the soldier raped “the little kid”.

A DailyKos diarist has artist renditions of the abuse of a little girl being shown in magazines across the world. Here are a few:

http://www.uruknet.info/uruknet-images/chilabuse1.jpg

Reports put a rough estimate of children in Abu Ghraib at 107. Remember that 70-90% of the people at Abu Ghraib were found to be innocent, and it translates into many innocent children being held to suffer for nothing.

The world is reading this, Norway is thinking of pulling out over it, and no one here knows anything about it. The media will ignore this story as long as they can, and it explains why President Bush does not want the new photos released.

Could it be that child abuse would turn even his staunchest supporters against him? Nevermind the abhorrence of such a thing on its very face.

I will close here with a quote from the man that Bush claims to live his life in homage to, Jesus of Nazareth:

"And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea"

He said, 'You haven't begun to see evil...' then trailed off. He said, 'horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run.' He looked frightened."

Yeah, all the really important stories rarely get mention in mainstream media. But I don't really have to tell this to anyone here. But just look at Downing Street. Where the hell did that go? Just dropped right out. I guess whoever the fuck Natile Halloway is is more important than whether or not our President was in on the deaths of 120,000 people.

I missed voting on this one, but I would have said never ever! I believe it happened, but it won't be admitted by this government.

Where is the media in all of this? They certainly didn't mind camping out in LA during the Michael Jackson saga. And, my God ... is it really that important who Laura Bush selected to be head chef of the white house?

Right now, I'm screaming inside, but I can't wait until the 24th of September when I will be screaming outloud!

I voted longer because i think in about 40 years they will admit it like the admitting we knew about perl harbor which is on the history channle. I count that as Main Stream News. Now the networks will NEVER admit it they still deny thing that every one else agrees on.

By disagreeing they make it seem like there is a controversy about it just to throw things like perl harbor jfk hoffa and other stories into question.

for the record, we knew about perl harbor and we attacked the japanese in china, the CIA killed JFK with the help of the banks, and the mob in Detroit killed Hoffa, they shot him twice in a car.

shit will hit the fans if it really exists and is released.

Though I do have trouble believing this as the military, being highly anti-homosexual, would have very few members willing to engage in this.

never heard of college frats doing the "elephant dance" before going out gay-bashing?

I voted three weeks, as anyone who saw this topic when I originally posted it may recall... how wrong I was.

it really exists; shit really is hitting the fan; will it be released? I don't know anymore... I tend to agree with ry's opinion of the several decades option like pearl harbor... like 21st century terrorism...
