"The Telegraph quoted retired U.S. Army Major General Antonio Taguba as saying the pictures showed "torture, abuse, rape and every indecency." Taguba conducted an investigation in 2004 into abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison."
Why didn't Taguba report that at the time? None of the soldiers were charged or convicted of rape. Did Taguba cover that up? If so, why speak out now, especially since this would seem to open Taguba up for charges himself? On top of that, Taguba would have known that there was always the possiblity that the photos would be released. Again, that would raise questions as to why he didn't report the alleged rapes at the time. Reuters alleges Taguba did report rapes.
"Taguba, who retired in January 2007, included allegations of rape and sexual abuse in his report. He was quoted in the Telegraph as saying he supported Obama's decision not to release the pictures."
I don't remember that and I guess his report will have to be looked at again. But if that's true, why wasn't anyone charged for rape? There's no way the left wing media would have let that go unrepoted.
Stranger still is Obama's denial of the existence of rape photos. Why do Bush a favor?
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's administration strongly denied a British report on Thursday that images of apparent rape and sexual abuse of Iraqi prisoners are among photographs that it is trying to prevent being made public."
Someone's lying.
Update. Here's Tagubar's report. I searched it using the term "rape" and could not find one instance where Tagubar included allegations of rape.
