Salon.com Runs Abu Ghraib Torture Photos Leaked from Internal Army Source

by Democracy Now (reposted)
Salon.com published even more torture photographs from Abu Ghraib a day after the Australian report aired on SBS public broadcasting. The online publication obtained photos, video and other electronic documents from an internal Army investigation. We speak with salon.com reporter Mark Benjamin, who obtained the files and other electronic documents.
The article accompanying the photos stated that the source who gave the material to Salon is "someone who has spent time at Abu Ghraib, is a uniformed member of the military and is familiar with the investigation.” The article goes on to say that the material includes "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 solider 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.”

* Mark Benjamin, National Correspondent for online magazine Salon.com. He obtained files and other electronic documents from an internal Army investigation into the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal. The material includes more than 1,000 photographs, videos and supporting documents from the Army’s probe.
