According to reports from The Daily Beast, CNN and Radio Netherlands Worldwide the Pentagon has known since 2004 about the terrible acts of Torture inflicted upon prisoners of war by U.S. soldiers.
Many of the acts were of a Sexually Explicit nature.
This is the main reason why President Obama, the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Gates and General Petraeus are fighting so hard to keep those Torture photos from being released.
There are graphic photographs in existence of female prisoners giving male U.S. Soldiers oral sex, U.S. Government Contractors performing Sodomy on male prisoners, male U.S. Soldiers raping female prisoners, U.S. Soldiers sexually assaulting both male and female prisoners with objects, etc.,
General Petraeus advised President Obama that the release of those pics would cause anger, backlash and great harm to come upon the U.S. Armed Forces currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I now totally agree the pictures should not be exposed to the world, however I do strongly believe that all those involved in Torturing and Humiliating those prisoners should be punished.
Including those individuals in Leadership positions.
Ugh! What a disgrace!
