GMA reported that there was a picture of the rape of a boy
by a translator which the Washington Post has. There is no mention of it in the WP article and naturally there is no photograph published. How does GMA have knowledge about this atrocity when the WP didn't even report it.

Is it true?

Sometimes I think I can't hate this gang of criminals more than I do but it always turns out that I'm mistaken.

2. CNN reported that, too.
No pics yet, but there are some truly gruesome ones out today.

9. Damn, I saw it reported in print last night (LBN I think)
but can't remember where. I read there are photos of that incident. Someone will eventually leak it.

Pictures of the women too. :(

10. It was in the WP article.
"Hilas also said he witnessed an Army translator having sex with a boy at the prison. He said the boy was between 15 and 18 years old. Someone hung sheets to block the view, but Hilas said he heard the boy's screams and climbed a door to get a better look. Hilas said he watched the assault and told investigators that it was documented by a female soldier taking pictures."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A43783-2004May20.html

Note that it is described as "having sex", not rape.

11. Looks like I missed it. Interesting that a man forcing himself on a
screaming child isn't described as rape by the Washington Post.

15. How can there not be complete outrage over the rape of a child?
Where is the President? Where is the SOH? Where is the RNC Chairman? They sure managed to get all over Nany Pelosi when they didn't like something she SAID... but someone rapes a little boy and they are quiet?

14. Criminals Used
Hard core pro criminals were given control of things in the cells. They were put there by us to abuse the innocent Iraqis. It is the same thing that Stalin did in his gulags. Being raped by them was common and young boys were often thrown to them by the guards. The normal prisoners were just everyday people who were being tortured because they were inoocent of anything, another Stalinist tgechnique. The whole thing was an attempt to terrorize any potential opposition to the US enslavement of the country.

16. Let me guess their defense:
The young boy "asked for it" by wearing the sexy panties they made him put on.
