The soldiers in this horrible photo are not from the same military unit as the 6 accused in court martial proceedings now. There can be no doubt anymore that this was ordered by someone higher than Sergeants, Corporals and specialists. By order of Gen. Sanchez, the 205th Military Intelligence Brigade took over all prisons in Iraq, and were placed in authority over the MPs in all of those prisons, on Nov. 9, 2003
The one photo from the series the New Yorker now has WARNING DISTURBING GRAPHIC PHOTO
“In another, taken a few minutes later, the Iraqi is lying on the ground, writhing in pain, with a soldier sitting on top of him, knee pressed to his back. Blood is streaming from the inmate’s leg. Another photograph is a closeup of the naked prisoner, from his waist to his ankles, lying on the floor. On his right thigh is what appears to be a bite or a deep scratch. There is another, larger wound on his left leg, covered in blood.”
