Children raped at Abu Ghraib: U.S. General confirms Seymour Hersh's Abu Ghraib accusations......thanks Sue
Former Major General Antonio Taguba, the officer who conducted an inquiry into Abu Ghraib in 2004, has been interviewed by Britain's Daily Telegraph. In the interview he confirmed that the unreleased prisoner torture photos contain images of rape at Abu Ghraib.
Obama has made a huge mistake by not releasing these photographs, and is now shown to have stretched the truth very far when he claimed that "these photos that were requested in this case are not particularly sensational, especially when compared to the painful images that we remember from Abu Ghraib." No, Mr. President, these photos are
worse than those originally released from Abu Ghraib.
Maj Gen Taguba’s internal inquiry into the abuse at Abu Ghraib, included sworn statements by 13 detainees, which, he said in the report, he found "credible based on the clarity of their statements and supporting evidence provided by other witnesses."
Among the graphic statements, which were later released under US freedom of information laws, is that of Kasim Mehaddi Hilas in which he says: "I saw [name of a translator] ******* a kid, his age would be about 15 to 18 years. The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets. Then when I heard screaming I climbed the door because on top it wasn’t covered and I saw [name] who was wearing the military uniform, putting his **** in the little kid’s ***.... and the female soldier was taking pictures."
We now have confirmation that the unspeakable accusations of child rape that Seymour Hersh alleged are true. American soldiers raped children at Abu Ghraib, and there is photographic evidence. Now all I have to ask is, are Americans ready to finally face the reckoning of what was done in our name? Because like it or not, these photos will be released, and no one will be able to ignore this horrible truth any longer.
