May 13, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - Shocking shots of sexcapades involving Pfc. Lynndie England were among the hundreds of X-rated photos and videos from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal shown to lawmakers in a top-secret Capitol conference room yesterday. "She was having sex with numerous partners. It appeared to be consensual," said a lawmaker who saw the photos. And, videos showed the disgraced soldier - made notorious in a photo showing her holding a leash looped around an Iraqi prisoner's neck - engaged in graphic sex acts with other soldiers in front of Iraqi prisoners, Pentagon officials told NBC Nightly News. "Almost everybody was naked all the time," another lawmaker said. Many members of Congress left the 45-minute viewing session early, thereby missing the porno performance by England, but there were enough other images of torture, humiliation and intimidation to sicken anyone. "It was pretty disgusting, not what you'd expect from Americans," said Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.). "There was lots of sexual stuff - not of the Iraqis, but of our troops." Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who also characterized the photos as "disgusting," agreed, noting, "It's hard to believe that this actually is taking place in a military facility." “These photos have to be faked,” said Mildred Flaggbutt of Tucson, Arizona. “Our soldiers are all squeaky clean and all wear white hats. Sure, they might have to kill someone now and then, but naked group sex in a military prison? Why that is the kind of thing scum like Janet Jackson might engage in. Our troops under this Christian administration would never behave like that.” Oreo M. Cookie, of Salute, PA expressed revulsion at the goings-on in Iraq. “The bombings and the explosions and fires when we took down Saddam were great, but this nasty sex stuff… they should have edited it out.” When this reporter attempted to explain to Mr Cookie that Iraq is not a movie, he rushed back to his television set, exclaiming, “No time now, “Neil Cavuto is coming on with more of them Arab hacker pictures. I wouldn’t want to miss that.” --- I am not sure, but perhaps.. some of the above did NOT come from the Associated Press. >>>>GGGGG
