Data is emerging, no matter how the administration attempts to hide
it, that
the new photos and video of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison include the
torture
of children.
Norway's Prime Minister's office says it plans to address the
situation with
the U.S. "in a very severe and direct way."
Could this mean losing yet another ally in the Iraq occupation? Amnesty
International in Norway has said that Norway can no longer continue
their
occupation of Iraq, or their support of US policy in this matter.
And some countries, as _Tom Tomorrow notes_
(http://www.thismodernworld.com/weblog/mtarchives/
week_2004_07_04.html) , actually listen to their activists.
While there isn't even an inkling of this in the US Mainstream media,
all
over the world people are beginning to read about the US abusing
children at Abu Ghraib.

The _Sunday Herald_ (http://sundayherald.com/) in Scotland has a
piece on
the abuse of children at the notorious prison:
From _Iraq's Child Prisoners_ (http://www.sundayherald.com/43796) ,
written
one year ago:
It was early last October that Kasim Mehaddi Hilas says he witnessed
the
rape of a boy prisoner aged about 15 in the notorious Abu Ghraib
prison in Iraq.
"The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with
sheets,"
he said in a statement given to investigators probing prisoner abuse
in Abu
Ghraib. "Then, when I heard the screaming I climbed the door ... and
I saw [the
soldier´s name is deleted] who was wearing a military uniform."
Hilas, who
was himself threatened with being sexually assaulted in Abu Graib, then
describes in horrific detail how the soldier raped "the little kid".
A _DailyKos diarist_ (http://www.dailykos.com/story/
2005/7/23/15839/3683)
has artist renditions of the abuse of a little girl being shown in
magazines
across the world. Here are a few:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/7/23/15839/3683
Reports put a rough estimate of children in Abu Ghraib at 107.
Remember that
70-90% of the people at Abu Ghraib were found to be innocent, and it
translates into many innocent children being held to suffer for
nothing.
The world is reading this, Norway is thinking of pulling out over it,
and no
one here knows anything about it. The media will ignore this story as
long as
they can, and it explains why President Bush does not want the new
photos
released.
Could it be that child abuse would turn even his staunchest supporters
against him? Nevermind the abhorrence of such a thing on its very face.
I will close here with a quote from the man that Bush claims to live
his life
in homage to, Jesus of Nazareth:
And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe
in me, it
is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and
he were
cast into the sea
