I don’t remember hearing about this aspect of it on the news…

Seymour Hersh, speaking at the ACLU, has said the US government has videotapes of boys being raped at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

“Some of the worst things that happened you don’t know about, okay? Videos, um, there are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib … The women were passing messages out saying ‘Please come and kill me, because of what’s happened’ and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror. It’s going to come out.”

The U.S. network NBC News reported that unreleased videotapes, apparently shot by U.S. personnel, showed Iraqi guards at Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib prison raping young boys. British newspapers have reported that children were tortured under interrogation.
