” ‘Americans did this to an Iraqi prisoner,’ the CBS 60 Minutes II broadcast on the evening of Wednesday, April 28 [2004] began. On the screen was a photograph of a hooded man draped in a crude shift, standing precariously on a box with his arms outstretched. Wires attached to various parts of his body trailed outside the frame. More pictures appeared of naked men–stacked atop one another, rolled into piles on the floor or standing at tremulous attention. Some had their arms shackled to what were clearly prison bars over their heads; others cowered in terror from snarling dogs. Most of the photographs included one or more American soldiers pointing, posing or laughing. The souvenir snapshots had been taken by guards on duty at the Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad.”
