The Official International Red Cross Report ( 2 years old and linked at the end) does indeed Show Massive Brutality and Medical Misconduct and Torture and it is grisely. WHO is responsible ? WHO gave the ORDERS ? We need to KNOW ? This Red Cross Report is respected and considered valuable evidence. The Documents must be released and made public- even though it is ugly, and it must be viewed and Lessons Must be Learned - so that it NEVER happens again. Having the Photos of Abu Gahrib come to the surface was important- but then it was Hushed up and tucked away. We are talking War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity. Americans need to KNOW the truth and see it. It is the same after WWII Photographers were ordered to take photos at the Concentration Camps, and sadly yes, they also brought Villagers to see the Damage as well. But it was a Painful Turning Point in European History, and there will never be Concentration Camps there again.
The Evidence and Reports will need to be made Public in War Crimes Trial.And it would be better if we had already made it Public first- otherwise the rest of the World will think we tried to Cover It Up....
Here is Dan Froomkin's Wapo article on this mess...

It made me ill, just ill. It really needs to be out there, maybe if this gets around people will finally get sick enough and angry enough to want to do something.
I hope so anyway.. that's all we can hope for.
I might actually post some of it...sections? I don't know how do we get it out there ?
