Who's A Terrorist Now?
http://my.auburnjournal.com/detail/112605.html

By Skeptic

23 April 2009 - NBC News today revealed that the Pentagon is preparing to release as many as 2,000 photos, including several dozen which show prisoner abuse at Guantanamo Bay and other military facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The US government has argued that releasing pictures, even in redacted form, would violate Geneva Convention rules on prisoner treatment by subjecting detainees to humiliation or embarrassment.

According to a government official, at least one photo shows a prisoner shoved up against a wall as military guards or interrogators prepare to sodomize him with a broomstick or fluorescent tube.

1. *Releasing the photos* would violate the Geneva Convention, but the *Actual abuse & torture* didn't?
