Well, that's what is being alleged. (And just in time for the Messiah's address to the whole Muslim world.)
Daily Mail: Obama's bid to suppress prisoner abuse pictures fails as images are leaked
Further images purportedly from the 2,000 include one of a naked man covered in excrement with a guard standing in front of him.
Others yet to be released are alleged to show guards threatening to sexually assault a detainee with a broomstick and hooded prisoners in transport planes with copies of Playboy magazine showing naked women open on their laps.
The president had previously committed to allowing them to be seen but changed his mind after senior generals said it could place U.S. troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan in greater danger.
The images were released in Australia yesterday where they were originally obtained by the television channel SBS in the wake of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal.
(Warning: Pic of naked terrorist hanging upside down from his bunk bed at link. Too bad they don't show the "naked man smeared in excrement standing in a corridor with a guard standing menacingly in front of him" P.S. If I was a guard and had to clean up after a terrorist who shit himself and then smeared it all over himself and his cell I wouldn't exactly be happy, either.)
that's a torture pic? give me a break.

(I want to know what was up with those pink and blue sheets and that pink torture towel under his lower legs...)

Good grief, they didn't let Sheriff Arpaio at them, did they? Next thing you know we'll get 'torture pics' of these guys in a pink underwear pyramid.
