The Daily Telegraph states that Retired Major Gen. Antonio Taguba agrees with Obama that the remaining torture photos should not be released arguing that "The mere description of these pictures is horrendous enough, take my word for it."
If the descriptions from the Daily Telegraph below are accurate, one has to wonder how on earth Obama can claim his people are too busy to even investigate the complicity of Bush Administration officials in crimes against humanity:
Duncan Gardham and Paul Cruikshank report:
At least one picture shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another is said to show a male translator raping a male detainee.
Further photographs are said to depict sexual assaults on prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube.
Another apparently shows a female prisoner having her clothing forcibly removed to expose her breasts.
Detail of the content emerged from Major General Antonio Taguba, the former army officer who conducted an inquiry into the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq.
Allegations of rape and abuse were included in his {Taguba’s} 2004 report but the fact there were photographs was never revealed. He has now confirmed their existence in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.
