Today an American network got hold of evidence showing US soldiers torturing and humiliating Iraqi prisoners. Check the clip from the original CBS broadcast – it’s actually quite bad.
I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t kick off big style tomorrow. Gimme a G! Gimme an E! Gimme a NEVA!
Update: Interestingly the press are treating this very differently on either side of the Atlantic. The Gimpian and most European papers are giving it front page status, with photos and in-depth discussion of torture and the consequences.
The US media response barely registers on Google News however. CNN uses the ‘unsubstantiated’ inverted commas with Iraq prison ‘abuse’ sparks outrage.
Update 2: Wikipedia has the details and a full set of incriminating photographs.

Hey, I must be on to something – the Gimps just published a story noting the suppression of sensitive material in the US.
