In this image from Oct. 20, 2003, surfaced by Salon.com, a detainee at Abu Ghraib prison is handcuffed in the nude to a bed and has a pair of panties covering his face.

The Abu Ghraib Files

Salon presents a horrifying new gallery of 279 photos and 19 videos of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib.


Salon.com

The human rights scandal now known as “Abu Ghraib” began its journey toward exposure on Jan. 13, 2004, when Spc. Joseph Darby handed over horrific images of detainee abuse to the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command (CID). The next day, the Army launched a criminal investigation. Three and a half months later, CBS News and the New Yorker published photos and stories that introduced the world to devastating scenes of torture and suffering inside the decrepit prison in Iraq.

Today Salon presents an archive of 279 photos and 19 videos of Abu Ghraib abuse first gathered by the CID, along with information drawn from the CID’s own timeline of the events depicted. As we reported Feb. 16, Salon’s Mark Benjamin recently acquired extensive documentation of the CID investigation—including this photo archive and timeline—from a military source who spent time at Abu Ghraib and who is familiar with the Army probe.

I still think Joseph Darby had something to do with the pictures. He’s a liar to his family, friends, and I believe the world. How would he have known where to get the disc that contianed those disgusting pictures? How could he not know HIS unit was doing this? I know first hand he’s a liar because for a year and a half, he lied to me about his family, and the fact he was married while him and I were together. Search online.. I gave the “New York Post” an interesting story that questions his “honesty” I forever will think of Joseph Darby as a LIAR!!
