CBS received the photos from a soldier inside.No argue there. He didnīt go to Kirmmit (the frog), he went to Dan Rather or who ever it was. He went to the press FIRST. Maybe knowing he would be hard pressed to get anything done about it, had he delivered it to his superiors.
Kirmitt was pressed by the show to do something about it. Had there been no show, there wouldnīt have been any torture in Abu Ghraib, period.
If that isnīt sweeping under the rugg, what is? They would have kept silent about this.
Also, knowing how Kimmit acts and what he thinks of iraqis, werenīt you a bit surprised by such a convenient change of heart? Itīs all for show.
Kimmit couldnīt care less about iraqis, arabs, muslims or anyone else on those lines.He would never suspend one of his generals just for the sake of a bunch of "terrorists" and "thugs", as he calls them. He was forced to, by the leak to the media.

Btw, i find it more distressing that they had a woman there, in front of the naked POWs. Even more than the eletrocution thing. For the muslims, that is the worst thing you can do, on all accounts. Any iraqis that see this will be hard pressed not to seek revenge, thatīs for shure.
