    I don't often get scoops on this site and there is no reason you should trust me, but I have one today. The following events ... light years beyond what you have seen from our troops in Abu Ghraib... are now in the hands of the new Arab-language Television network Al Ahurra. They are videotapes and, in one grisly case, photographs. These are all acts performed by Saddam's soldiers and police in uniform. I am not sure what Al Ahurra will broadcast, but they will be culled from among the following. I am told that when their people saw these tapes, they were unable to watch them. I can understand why. It is hard for me to type them.

    Joe, I have two objections to this post.

    First, this thread has a topic which nobody had any difficulty to follow up to this point. There are other threads here which are more pertinent to a debate on which pictures are the most horrendous. The reason for this remark is that many of us claim the right to hold an occasional meaningful conversation rather that get a point through, the same point over and over in all discussions.

    Second, I doubt that this post would have any value in those other threads either. I saw no pictures whatsoever in the link you posted, not to speak of *verified* pictures.
