I expect that it has been fixed and I agree that this is probably nothing more than an attempt to hurt the war effort...but I daresay that if you were to ask most Americans what they think of when they hear Abu Ghraib, they will say something about men wearing panties on their heads. Not men, women and children being raped...allegedly.

But I'll be honest, putting the story out there as if it is nothing more than mean pranks is the problem I have. I feel like a total a$$ for cheering on those soldiers for giving them a little "harmless" humiliation.

But, I agree that it's not something that should be published so that the "enemy" (terrorists or dems) can use to incite deadly riots, etc.

"putting the story out there as if it is nothing more than mean pranks is the problem I have."

And who told you that it was just frat boy pranks? I know that some of it was portrayed that way by some commentators, but the day after day after day after day coverage by the msm portrayed this as the greatest horror since the holoucast. Most of it was roughing up, minor assault, scaring with dogs and humiliation. They should have been lined up and shot. As I recall an iraqi general died(not sure if this was at abu gharib at this time). No tears for him. Please remember that these were hardened terrorists who had just rioted and attacked guards during a very difficult period in the war.

If there is new stuff, and remeber the left has been alleging this since the beginning without showing proof, I know that it is not the norm for the most honorable military in the worl. I also trust that if crimes occurred they will be appropriately dealt with.

That being said if these pictures and videos exist, show them only if you show at the same time, the hundreds of videos of the torture and beheadings by the enemy.
