We need pictures,as for the #AbuGhraib horrors.Leak, leak, leak safely here:

April 28, 2004 - The first photos of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal were shown on CBS's ''60 Minutes II.'' The photos had been taken by U.S. military personnel responsible for detaining and interrogating Iraqi prisoners arrested following the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Listening to some commentators today, especially those from the US itself, one might think that everything was great before Trump.
That the US military didn’t actually murder 1.5 million people in Iraq. That Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib never existed. Even under Obama, many 1,000 people were executed by drones every week, without mercy, without trial.The world hasn’t forgotten that. We haven’t forgotten that. The bill will be paid. Believe me, Goliath!

Nahostkrieg – Mỹ Lai, Abu Ghraib, nun eine iranische Mädchenschule? – Von Kim Son Hoang
Im Iran dürften die USA für einen tödlichen Angriff auf eine Mädchenschule verantwortlich sein. Das erinnert an frühere Gräueltaten
Es klingt ein bisschen trotzig, oder so, als sei es ihm egal. “Was immer bei dem Bericht rauskommt, ich bin willens, damit zu leben”, sagte US-Präsident Donald Trump am Montag. Gemeint sind Untersuchungen zum Luftangriff auf eine Mädchenschule im südiranischen Minab. Dort schlug am ersten Tag des Nahostkriegs eine Rakete ein und tötete mindestens 168 Menschen – vor allem Mädchen zwischen sieben und zwölf Jahren.

altra cosa facile è questa: #Veltroni che capisce in questa intervista:
che gli USA "non sono più il faro dell'Occidente" e lo capisce 22 anni dopo che USA facevano questo ad #AbuGhraib,sotto gli occhi del mondo e nella più totale,sfacciata impunità

@elCelio @realjakebroe.bsky.social
Thanks, but I don't think that's the incident I remember.A search online suggests it was a release of the indictment of #Felon47's first campaign manager #PaulManafort.
But I don't think that was it either.
But I do agree it was probably something concerning #Dubya & #Iraq (probably connected to #AbuGhraib.)

Patrick Lawrence: The ‘Post–9/11 Method’
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/11/19/patrick-lawrence-the-post-9-11-method/
Ultra-Zionist Minister Ben–Givr wants the Zionist state to kill Palestinian prisoners of war. But there is a straight line between Washington’s post–9/11 abuses of international law and the death penalty vote in the Knesset last Monday. By Patrick Lawrence ScheerPost Maybe…

US Mourns the Victims of 9/11, But What of the Victims of the “War on Terror”?
Twenty-four years into the global “war on terror,” we need rituals of public mourning to acknowledge its many victims. -

Same with most who worked in his first admin: #ambition wins over unethical alliances.For the rest of us, Abu Ghraib was a wake-up call as to how insignificant an individual is to those in power. #AbuGhraib

I remember when George w. Caesar was President, and it came up about #AbuGhraib and American torture. And I think the White House Council office wrote an argument saying that what the United States was doing in Iraq or any of the black site torture facilities, wasn't torture. Because America doesn't torture people. Therefore everything we do, isn't torture. And they said it with a straight face.

Il parallelismo fatto da #Mattarella ci può anche stare, per me #Putin era un criminale pure prima, ma lascio il giudizio agli storici.
Quello che stona è il doppio standard, e a volte pure il silenzio, del Presidente: come definire il #Genocidio di #Israele a #Gaza? E #AbuGhraib o #Afghanistan -

@davetroy #JulianAssange was just a hired ‘middle man’ when #AbuGhraib torture, #DemocraticParty nomination rigging, and other ‘classified’ information was published by #Wikileaks.
Since #ElonMusk is the middle man in the #DOGE heist, there is no reason for Assange to be involved. I suspect #Russia to broadcast some info on #RT but keep other information secret for its own most ‘effective’ and nefarious uses.

„Arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders are putting international law to the test. Do Western states only support UN courts when it serves their interests? Can the "principle of universal jurisdiction" save international criminal justice?”

This was almost a month ago - Nov 12, 2024. I learned about it right now, Dec 3, 2024.

Great, that only took horrible acts of torture and 20+ years of the victims' lives. Still and all, big ups to the survivors and their supporters for sticking with this for so long. Abu Ghraib and the insane system of Bush-era "private contractors" (i.e., mercenaries) should never be forgotten or rehabilitated -- which includes, you know, not running for office on the support of the Cheney family.
====
Today, in a landmark verdict, a jury in a federal court found a Virginia-based government contractor liable for its role in the torture of Iraqi men at Abu Ghraib prison in 2003-2004 and ordered it to pay each of the three plaintiffs $3 million in compensatory damages and $11 million in punitive damages, for a total of $42 million. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed in 2008 against CACI Premier Technology, Inc., on behalf of three men who endured the sorts of torture and abuse made infamous by leaked images that horrified the world twenty years ago. The jury in an earlier trial last April was unable to reach a unanimous decision; today’s verdict comes from a retrial with a new jury.
The jury found CACI liable for conspiring to torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of Suhail Al Shimari, a middle school principal, Asa’ad Zuba’e, a fruit vendor, and Salah Al-Ejaili, a journalist. The men were all held at the “hard site,” the part of the prison where the most severe abuses occurred. Along with hundreds of other Iraqis tortured at Abu Ghraib, they have suffered long-standing physical and emotional effects.

US military contractor CACI to face retrial over allegations of torture at #Iraq prison
Tyler Li | U. Ottawa Faculty of Law, CA
June 15, 2024"The case against #CACI is one of many legal actions against private military contractors accused of detainee abuse, including those against #TitanCorporation (later known as L-3 Services) and CACI for their roles in alleged abuse at #AbuGhraib, as well as against #Blackwater for incidents like the #NisourSquare massacre in #Baghdad. Many of these cases faced similar legal challenges, specifically dismissals based on national security concerns and the complexities of applying US law to actions taken in war zones."

#Iraqis Tortured at #AbuGhraib Win $42 Million Judgment Against U.S. Military Contractor #CACI
#DemocracyNow
November 14, 2024"A federal jury in Virginia has ordered the U.S. military contractor CACI Premier Technology to pay a total of $42 million to three Iraqi men who were tortured at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. The landmark verdict comes after 16 years of litigation and marks the first time a civilian contractor has been found legally responsible for the gruesome abuses at Abu Ghraib. We discuss the case and its significance for #HumanRights with Baher Azmy, the legal director for the Center for Constitutional Rights, which represented the Abu Ghraib survivors. 'This lawsuit has been about justice and accountability for three Iraqi men — our clients, Salah, Suhail and Asa’ad — who exhibited just awe-inspiring courage and resilience,' he says."

I didn't see this on The Guardian or the NYT. Thought it's worth spreading the news
