Under the present circumstances of global publicity for the tortures of Iraquis by US and Brit troops that have now been fully-exposed to us, complete with photos, video and testimony, consider looking into the Occupation Watch site on a regular basis. Where there once existed pages of news storys on places such as CNN, the "disappeared" may still be available.
Here is the lead story on the latest home page: "Torture in Iraq: Has the U.S. Become the Evil It Deplored? On Wednesday, April 28, 60 Minutes II broadcast photos of American soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. The gruesome photos depicting physical and sexual abuse by American military personnel are bringing long-needed attention to a travesty that Amnesty International, the Occupation Watch Center, independent journalists, and delegates from recent delegations to Iraq have highlighted continually for more than a year. With the Americans as “both the judges and tortures” who are the Iraqis to turn to? The following articles document the human rights abuses and torture of Iraqi prisoners and civilians throughout the occupation. Mike and River, again, thank you for your efforts to publicize these stories. Doesn't the word "story" somehow underwhelm you in the scheme of things? What words can describe the horror of torture used for whatever grand purpose? Today, Baghdad Burning, Occupation Watch, Iraq Dispatches, and Redeye's Corner are added to the sidebar. "Sidebar" perhaps can be termed "main bar" in these distressing days.
