Yahoo! News - New Iraq Prison Photos Emerge -Washington Post
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new batch of photographs obtained by The Washington Post includes more graphic images of apparent Iraqi prisoners at a U.S. military jail in Iraq, the newspaper reported on Thursday.

The photographs are similar to those broadcast on CBS's "60 Minutes II" and published by the New Yorker magazine showing Iraqi prisoners in various images of humiliation, The Washington Post reported.

The new collection included more than 1,000 digital images ranging from scenes of mundane military life to pictures showing crude simulations of sex among soldiers. Among the images is a picture of a soldier holding a leash tied around a man's neck in an Iraqi prison. The man is naked, grimacing and lying on a floor. There are photographs of naked men, apparently prisoners, sprawled on top of one another while soldiers stand around them.

I'll bet Saddam wasn't stupid enough to take this many pictures. Good God, what were these idiots thinking?
