Photos Show Rape of Iraqi Women
by US Occupation Forces

(Please Note: Many of the photographs showing the rape of Iraqi women and the sodomization of Iraqi POW's at the Abu Ghraib prison are now at USA pornographic websites pointing to the possibility of collusion between the depraved US soldiers in the pictures and US based Jewish pornographers. Many of these photographs were also freely disseminated to US occupation forces, perhaps to inflame their nefarious desires and to motivate them to strike out against the Iraqi populace in these perverse ways.)

Los Angeles, Alta California - May 2, 2004 - (ACN) The release, by CBS News, of the photographs showing the heinous sexual abuse and torture of Iraqi POW's at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison has opened a Pandora's box for the Bush regime. Apparently, the suspended US commander of the prison where the worst abuses took place, Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, has refused to take the fall by herself and has implicated the CIA, Military Intelligence and private US government contractors in the torturing of POW's and in the raping of Iraqi women detainees as well.

Brigadier General Janis Karpinski said to the Washington Post that Military Intelligence, rather than the Military Police, dictated the treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. "The prison, and that particular cellblock where the events took place, were under the control of the Military Intelligence command," Brigadier General Karpinski said to the Washington Post Saturday night in a telephone interview from her home in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Brigadier General Karpinski, who commanded the 800th Military Police Brigade, described a high-pressure Military Intelligence and CIA command that prized successful interrogations. A month before the alleged abuses and rapes occurred, she said, a team of CIA, Military Intelligence officers and private consultants under the employ of the US government came to Abu Ghraib. "Their main and specific mission was to give the interrogators new techniques to get more information from detainees," she said.

Today, new photographs were sent to La Voz de Aztlan from confidential sources depicting the shocking rapes of two Iraqi women by what are purported to be US Military Intelligence personnel and private US mercenaries in military fatigues. It is now known that hundreds of these photographs had been in circulation among the troops in Iraq. The graphic photos were being swapped between the soldiers like baseball cards.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, one Mexican-American soldier told La Voz de Aztlan, "Maybe the officers didn't know what was going on, but everybody else did. I have seen literally hundreds of these types of pictures." Many of the pictures were destroyed last September when the luggage of soldiers was searched as they left Iraq, he said

An investigation, led by Army Major General Antonio M. Taguba, identified two military intelligence officers and two civilian contractors for the Army as key figures in the abuse cases at the Abu Ghraib prison. In an internal report on his findings, Major General Taguba said he suspected that the four were "either directly or indirectly responsible for the abuses at Abu Ghraib and strongly recommended disciplinary action."

The Taguba report states that "military intelligence interrogators and other U.S. Government Agency interrogators actively requested that Military Police guards set physical and mental conditions for favorable interrogation of witnesses." The report noted that one civilian interrogator, a contractor from a company called CACI International and attached to the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade, "clearly knew his instructions" to the Military Police equated to physical and sexual abuse. It is not known whether these instructions included, or led to, the raping of Iraqi women detainees as well.US

I cannot believe you have posted these obviously fake photos. There is no US uniform that even remotely resembles what the men in these photos are wearing. Their hair, the room they are in and the woman in the photo all clearly discount everything the story claims. I hope you have the courage to allow this comment to be posted, otherwise it proves that you are trying to perpetuate false information.

Your comment is being published even though you have little to offer in support of your views. Merely because the US forces are depicted in their barbarian crime, and it is no secret what they do or have been doing in Iraq is nothing less than war crimes on a lage scale, you find the article I published as unpalatable. It is obvious that such behaviour of US forces is not according to your wishes, so you choose the easy path to reject the contents of the article instead of coming with some creidible alternative views. You know all such criminals and their 'superiors'(I am sure you understand what I mean) are moral cowards. Instead of facing up to their crimes, they plead that they are only 'good Samaritans', performing their 'duty'.

By the way, you seem to be a nameless person. There are far too many nameless ones who conduct false propaganda and mislead the world public opinion. We all know why.

These are obviously not US soldiers.

The US has used "digital" camo patterns for many years. Every camo uniform issued has small, square blocks at the edge of the patterns. No US soldier still uses the old patterns.

Further, any US unit deployed to Iraq is issued desert camo. This is forest camo. Desert camo comes in tan, brown, and grey. This is green forest camo.

Either these photos are from a very old war (10+ years ago) or they were staged using uniforms from a surplus store.

Is it all that difficult to get hold of old unforms or green forsest camo for US soldiers soldiers? Is it not possible for such people to hide their identy by changing their uniforms??

To our common knowledge such things are not too difficult given the nature of the inhuman crimes committed in Iraq and the indifference of the command structure (Rumsfeld & Co., etc., etc.) that have come to light many a time over the last few years.
