CNN just showed VIDEO of some of the abuse in Abu Gharib!

You could see them dragging a prisoner and positioning then how to lay on the floor!

Good going!

read and weep:

The 13 previously secret sworn statements by detainees obtained by the Post added an overt anti-Islamic dimension to the abuses, with prisoners forced to renounce their religion, eat pork and drink liquor in contravention of Islamic religious tenets.

One detainee said he was told during the holy month of Ramadan he would be released if he cooperated and was ordered to curse Islam. ''Because they started to hit my broken leg, I curse my religion. They ordered me to thank Jesus I am alive.''

The abuses were said to include prisoners being forced to masturbate in front of female soldiers as well as an Army translator having sex with a boy 15 to 18 years old, an incident detainee Kasim Mehaddi Hilas said was documented in photos taken by a female soldier.

''They forced us to walk like dogs on our hands and knees,'' detainee No. 13077, Hiadar Sabar Ahed Miktub al-Aboodi, said. ''We had to bark like a dog, and if we didn't do that they started hitting us hard on our face and chest with no mercy.''
