Iraq prison 'abuse' sparks outrage

The broadcast of photographs apparently showing U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners has provoked outrage around the world.

[...] British Prime Minister Tony Blair also condemned the alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners, but stressed it did not reflect the conduct of the vast majority of coalition troops.

"This is not representative of the 150,000 soldiers that are in Iraq," Blair's official spokesman said.

Eight cases of alleged mistreatment of Iraqis by British personnel were also being investigated, he confirmed.

"This is not representative of the 150,000 soldiers that are in Iraq,"

To which my response would be: prove it.

The fact that photos were taken is evidence in itself that the atmosphere of mistreatment is so permissive, that there was no nervousness about taking photos while doing so.

*nod* As I said to my father this morning, "If one case like this is being investigated, you know there's more."

God, someone else posted the photos and I felt physically ill.

We (as a country) probably deserve to get our asses handed to us. This is disgusting.

I think this deserves lots of posts. I want to know about it, disgusting as it is! And I think outrage is the right reaction.
