Guest Gary C Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 http://www.asiantribune.com/news/2009/10/03/rape-iraqi-women-us-forces-weapon-war-photos-and-data-emerge NSFW In March 2006 four US soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division gang raped a 14 year old Iraqi girl and murdered her and her family —including a 5 year old child. An additional soldier was involved in the cover-up. The London newspaper further noted “graphic nature of some of the images may explain the US President Obama’s attempts to block the release of an estimated 2,000 photographs from prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan despite an earlier promise to allow them to be published.” Maj. Gen. Taguba, who retired in January 2007, said he supported the President’s decision, adding: “These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency. “The mere description of these pictures is horrendous enough, take my word for it.” In April, Mr. Obama’s administration said the photographs would be released and it would be “pointless to appeal” against a court judgment in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). But after lobbying from senior military figures, Mr. Obama changed his mind saying they could put the safety of troops at risk. In May, he said: “The most direct consequence of releasing them, I believe, would be to inflame anti-American public opinion and to put our troops in greater danger.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Clitterhaus Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yes, this is hardly breaking news. It was the subject matter of Brian De Palma's impressive film Redaction in 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yes, this is hardly breaking news. It was the subject matter of Brian De Palma's impressive film Redaction in 2008 I haven't seen that film (perhaps I should?), and had certainly not heard of any particular instances like this. The photos too are incredibly shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodie Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 i'm thinking in the scope of war. americans like war because their homeland isn't torn apart by rape, murder, etc. they rarely see the actual brutality of it, until their sons come home with missing legs/burns/ptsd.

soundwave Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 not to say this shit doesn't happen but pictures like this are normally propaganda with an alteria motive a local forces battalion and a chap who actually used to work in the same place I do was involved in a infamous 'fake' picture scandal in the UK just as reports were coming out about prisoner abuse which totally distracted the general public from the real issue at hand and got an unsympathetic newspaper editor out of the way in the same blow soldiers have to drill down woman and kids if they even approach a convoy in case they carry bombs and most of them don't have a fucking clue why they are there in the first place if you want to drop bombs on my mums back yard I'll fight ypu to the death but why anyone would want to go to a distant middle eastern country to kill poor people and generate more revenue for the military and oil industry I don't know those pics are from some ironic porn movie 'donate now' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
