US forces abused iraqi journalists from Reuters, NBC

" Cummings said all detainees, including the journalists, were given a routine medical screening, which included being undressed and having all body cavities examined. "

Seriously? All detainees get stripped and get a rectal? I'm not denying this, I'm just asking if this is actually our policy. Do we take photos of these cavity searches?

"Our investigation found no abuse of any kind," Cummings said Thursday. "This is a closed case."

Well, there you go. I'd say since we have no credability problems, that this is sufficient.

Beyond that, you do know the army has yet to say if all those folks they killed were attending a wedding at the time, right?


Let me ask you this. Purely for the sake of argument, if it comes out that these journalists were deliberatley abused, or that we accidentally blew up a wedding party, would it matter to you?
