U.S. soldiers stacked Iraqi prisoners in a human pyramid, and attached wires to one detainee to convince him he might be electrocuted, according to photographs obtained by CBS News which led to criminal charges against six Americans.

CBS said the photos, to be shown Wednesday night on "60 Minutes II," were taken late last year at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, where American soldiers were holding hundreds of prisoners captured during the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

In March, the U.S. Army announced that six members of the 800th Military Police Brigade faced court martial for allegedly abusing about 20 prisoners at Abu Ghraib. The charges included dereliction of duty, cruelty and maltreatment, assault and indecent acts with another person

A whole new concept to a "pyramid scheme".

Any photos of the mass graves or rape rooms?

In March, the U.S. Army announced that six members of the 800th Military Police Brigade faced court martial for allegedly abusing about 20 prisoners at Abu Ghraib.

I am not sure why this is a 60-minutes story since it seems the Army is taking care of the situation. Oh, I am sorry, this is an opportunity for CBS to show their distain for the US military. Nevermind....

[kjam22]

Yeah.... at least we haven't killed, burned, butchered, and strung them up in public.... (yet).

Danny-Boy must be thinking retirement. with hsi ego, he can't think of the network survivine without him. between the death pics of Diana and this, he seems to be oging out of his way to turn people off of CBS.

Ed R. Murrow must be turning in his grave...

[AngieGOP]

How about photos of the children running from the Children's Prison in Baghdad? Or how about the photos of the Iraqi atheletes tortured by Uday and Qusay?

[goldstategop]

Disgusting. The Tiffany Network is running pro-jihadist and terrorist propaganda. You can hear the orgasms over at DU already. They've been waiting for this Jayson Blair piece to show how eevil America has been in Iraq.

[sarasota]

Now you know CBS has an agenda and it's not to put down Saddam's tyranny. It's about making our Commander in Chief look bad.

FLASHBACKS

Dan Rather [trolling again on the frequency of murder, mayhem and terror]: "Mr. President, if only you knew how
much I and others at CBS support you and Castro rather than our unelected (sic) Bush."

Terrorist-Murderer Saddam: "Mr, Rather, it is absolutely remarkable that you media girly men
will repeatedly betray the USA, your President, and even the free American people during war
and for so very little. You and Mr. Cronkite are truly amazing.
Do you realize, Mr. Rather, that for millions and millions of Iraqis and my captives
I had to gang rape each man's children and his wife,
and then burn them in nitric acid, and mutilate them by cutting off at least an ear,
and then force them to watch me push their children through a paper shredder.
Mr. Rather, I used to have to remove testicles and arms before we have every seen such betrayal.
But you and CBS, grovel to me ...... ..... for ..... for nothing.
Thank you, Mr. Rather.
Thank you. We, terrorists, al Qaeda, and Baathists worldwide,
are very very very very lucky to have you at our feet, Mr. Rather.
If anything happens to me, take care of my Baathists and Mr. Castro, Mr. Rather."

Waited until college for this one.

With the currrent situation in Iraq, I'm not ready to criticize these guys who were successful getting intel out of the enemy:

"60 Minutes II" also quoted from an e-mail which Frederick reportedly sent to his family in which he said of Iraqi prisoners: "We've had a very high rate with our styles of getting them to break; they usually end up breaking within hours."

[Paved Paradise]

DITTO!

[chuknospam]

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Saddam would have given the soldiers medals.........

which they dare not throw away.

[evets]

I support our troops 100%.

[BillyCrockett]

What is it with CBS? Do they think they are a professional news org or something?

[Mr. Mojo]

CBS has become virtually indistinguishable from Al Jazeera.

[goldstategop]

They're a public relations division of Al Jazeera, DU, MoveOn and the DNC.

[litehaus]

Think there will be ANY mention of Daniel Pearl?
