Arrrrgghhh
I'd like to cheer for openness vs. secrecy, but somehow I just can't in this instance. Openness is the right thing. But the pain inflicted won't be fun.

Born at the Crest of Empire has a post up about torture pics. Apparently Salon has now acquired the whole magilla .... all the pics and videos from Abu Grahib. Go there and click through if you dare. I will, perhaps just before dinner so I don't lose my lunch.

Here's what Salon has, although they've only put up a small portion at this time:
The DVD containing the material includes a June 6, 2004, CID investigation report written by Special Agent James E. Seigmund. That report includes the following summary of the material included: "A review of all the computer media submitted to this office revealed a total of 1,325 images of suspected detainee abuse, 93 video files of suspected detainee abuse, 660 images of adult pornography, 546 images of suspected dead Iraqi detainees, 29 images of soldiers in simulated sexual acts, 20 images of a soldier with a Swastika drawn between his eyes, 37 images of Military Working dogs being used in abuse of detainees and 125 images of questionable acts."
