I have not been able to follow this story, but of course I am appalled. Surely, even if there were a few sadistic people let loose, they had to have supervisors and inspections of conditions etc. The looks of glee are just plain sick. And why are women involved with male prisoners, especially naked ones???? As bad as if men are put in charge of female prisoners. Something is very strange here, unless there is some trick photography or something...

Is the Red Cross/Red Crescent visiting these jails? Why are they in Bagdad and not in more isolated/defendible places.....And why are there just letters of reprimand and not preparations for courts martial? Do I have to suit up and go straighten this out myself?
