Rumsfeld: Unreleased images 'cruel and inhuman' Defense secretary outlines panel to probe prisoner abuse Friday, May 7, 2004 Posted: 9:03 PM EDT (0103 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld revealed Friday that videos and "a lot more pictures" exist of the abuse of Iraqis held at Abu Ghraib prison. "If these are released to the public, obviously it's going to make matters worse," Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "I mean, I looked at them last night, and they're hard to believe." Hmmm, I hope they release them. The public needs the truth to be told. Some of the stuff is apparently pretty sick, severe beatings, rape, sex with young boys, etc. Drugdereport.com apparently has the goods. cnn.com

Like the rest of us, I am more concerned about the torture and humiliation that went on in Abu Ghraib. It is the US image of liberators that has been shattered. Abu Ghraib makes the US invasion looks like the invasion of Gehghis Khan and his invading armies. I think it is time for Bush to go. He is incompetent and incapable. When there was a big noise about jobs and economy, the folks in DC woke up and started to address the issue. Otherwise they were asleep. It is the same of Abu Ghraib, the 9/11 and so on. This Administration falls asleep at the wheels. Typical of small groups of people working in isolation to push their own personal agendas in the absence of a cohesiveness which comes from a leader who ties everyone together with a vision and a plan on how to get there, a la Clintonesque.
