Iraq's Child Prisoners

Prisoner Abuses by U.S. Military

Rape of Iraqi Women

"Operation Enduring Freedom?" The following photos are shocking and disgusting. They show criminal acts in progress by uniformed military personnel in Iraq. The crimes are being committed against unarmed and defenseless civilians. There is no evidence that any of these victims were guilty of anything other than resisting the invasion and occupation of their own country. Women are being raped in their own bomb damaged homes. Perhaps their husbands, fathers and brothers were already killed.

In the spring of 2003, George W. Bush and his administration invaded Iraq in complete violation of international law after declaring to the world that they would consider themselves above all law, answerable to no one. They are essentially using the US military for their own private purposes, men and women who are ostensibly paid to defend the United States, not to illegally invade other nations. Bush has been paying for this obscenely expensive international crime with U.S. taxpayers money -- money that was supposed to be used for U.S. schools, roads and services for U.S. citizens, creating a huge deficit that threatens the future of our nation. The Bush administration bombed Iraq, destroyed much of the government infrastructure, killed many thousands of civilians as well as many thousands of men who were legitimately defending Iraq against the invasion, raided homes, rounded up and abducted 10,000 men without charges, imprisoned them, then tortured them.

Bush did a similar thing in Afghanistan under the guise of retaliation for 9-11. However, 9-11 was a crime committed by Saudis, not Afghans. There is no evidence whatsoever that the thousands of people killed and wounded in Afghanistan had anything to do with 9-11, or even knew about it. There is no evidence whatsoever that the "detainees" in Guantanamo Bay had the slightest involvement in 9-11. Instead, the invasion, bombing and occupation of Afghanistan is an international crime - a violation of all international treaties and laws.

Why are Bush and his people doing this? Weapons of mass destruction? A lie. Links to Al Queda? A lie. 9-11? A joke.They are doing this in order to secure the oil wealth of Iraq for the benefit of American corporations. In essence, Bush and his oil industry chums are robbing the world's gas station, Iraq, the second largest oil reserve in the world, in full daylight, in front of the world, using our men and women in uniform and our tax dollars, squandered under a smoke screen of lies, deception, rhetoric, threats against anyone who disagrees, and propaganda.

Bill Clinton was impeached for having consensual sex in private. If George W. Bush gets away with the monstrous crimes he is responsible for, it will show to the world that the United States government is morally bankrupt, and with its excessive military power under the control of a few rich men, an immense threat to all of civilization.

Perhaps most of the world already knows this.


These rape photos were pervertedly posted on the porn site Iraqbabes.com and described there as real rapes of Iraqi women by military personnel in Iraq. The pro-war propaganda machine then labeled the photos "fakes" because they had been posted on a porn site. Presumably, the propaganda machine wanted people to think that the photos were staged porn shots, not actual rapes. However, as soon as the propaganda began, the porn site was taken down so no one could see the photos described there as actual rapes, not staged shots. Nevertheless, the pro-war people have wildly embraced the idea that the photos below are fake porn shots produced in a studio of some sort. Take a good look at them and decide for yourself.
