Australian TV Releases New Abu Ghraib Photos

Australian TV has released new photos of tortured Iraqis at Abu Ghraib. And no, I'm not "for" the terrorists. I'm for my country doing the right thing. We Do Not Torture - that's what They do. What the Hell is happening to my country?

Warning, these photos are pretty graphic.

the SBS Dateline program plans to broadcast about 60 previously unpublished
photographs that the US Government has been fighting to keep secret in a court
case with the American Civil Liberties Union.
Although a US judge last year granted the union access to the photographs following a freedom-of-information request, the US Administration has appealed against the decision on the grounds
their release would fuel anti-American sentiment. Some of the photos are similar to those published in 2004, others are different. They include photographs of six corpses, although the circumstances of their deaths are not clear. There are also pictures of what appear to be burns and wounds from shotgun pellets.
