= New 'Prisoner Abuse' Photographs Emerge Despite US Bid to Block Publication
By Alex Spillius in Washington
===
In Case You Missed It Abu Ghraib - The Sequel This is a must watch video These are the photos the American Government doesn't want you to see. While researching a story on guards at Abu Ghraib, I obtained a copy of the unreleased photographs and videos. Taken at the same time as the photos released in 2004 and often of the same abuses, this is the first time they have been shown to the public. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11944.htm === Will They Hate Us for the Secret Photographs? By Jacob G. Hornberger What are Obama and the Pentagon using as an excuse to keep these photographs secret? They're saying that foreigners will get angry if they see photographic evidence of bad things that U.S. officials have been doing to foreigners as part of U.S. foreign policy since 9/11. Isn't that an implicit admission that foreigners do get angry over the bad things that the U.S. government does as part of its foreign policy? http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22626.htm === We Tortured To Justify War By Joe Conason

Don't tell the American people that the way out of Afghanistan is to escalate our presence." http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22630.htm === === Palestinians Recall 61 Years of Exile Nakba remembered amid Gaza suffering
