More Senior Military Sources Confirm Rape and Sodomy
At Abu Ghraib
New report contradicts White House denials

Fresh confirmations have emerged from senior military sources
that suppressed photographs of the torture of prisoners at Abu
Ghraib prison show scenes of rape, sexually explicit acts, sodomy
and forced masturbation.
Harper’s Magazine writer Scott Horton,
who also writes for The Daily Beast website, writes that he
"has obtained specific corroboration" from a "highly
credible senior military officer with firsthand knowledge,"
who he says has provided even more detail about images being
withheld from the public by the Obama administration.
Horton
writes that the photographs “depict sexually
explicit acts, including a uniformed soldier receiving oral
sex from a female prisoner, a government contractor engaged
in an act of sodomy with a male prisoner and scenes of forced
masturbation, forced exhibition and penetration involving phosphorous
sticks and brooms.”
Horton's sources revealed that in addition to
other sexual acts, some of the photographs show a uniformed
soldier receiving oral sex from a female prisoner, a government
contractor engaged in an act of sodomy with a male prisoner,
and a female prisoner being forced to expose her breasts.
"Other suppressed photographs show a female
prisoner assuming sexually suggestive poses in a chair, while
a prison guard appears behind her in some frames. In another
series, prisoners are shown hooded in a transport with open
copies of pornographic magazines in their laps." Horton
writes.
The military source also described an image in which Specialist
Charles A. Graner, who was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment
in 2005, is shown suturing the face of a prisoner, effectively
stitching the skin, as if closing open wounds, despite the fact
that the prisoner required no such medical procedure.
The account directly contradicts yesterday's
denials by both the White House and the Pentagon
that the withheld photographs contain evidence of sexual abuse.

By denying the statements of Major General Antonio
Taguba, featured in the London Telegraph earlier this week,
the White House is denying the facts of the official
internal military investigation from 2004, in an
apparent attempt to pull off a crude bait and switch.
Taguba merely confirmed to the Telegraph what
was in his original report.
Taguba also verified the credibility of eyewitness
statements from other detainees that described an American-Egyptian
male translator in uniform raping teenage boys.
The fresh confirmations, combined with Taguba's reiteration
of his original findings, as well as other accounts from credible
figures such as veteran
reporter Seymour Hersh and US
Senator Lindsey Graham, disprove president Obama's
assertion that the suppressed photographs are "not particularly
sensational".
The truth will out, and as the ACLU has said, Obama “has
essentially become complicit with the torture that was rampant
during the Bush years by being complicit in its coverup.”
