During the last week of April 2004 nine allegedly bogus images depicting the brutal rape of two Iraqi women surfaced on an Arab web site. Within days the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal exploded into the headlines. Americans were shocked by PG-13 images of abuse and "The Taguba Report" was made public. This left me to ask, "Is this just coincidence or damage control?"
Once upon a time Dubya's grandfather, Prescot Bush, was a business partner of a Fritz Thyssen who, just happened to be... well, by most accounts, Hitler's private banker. Unless I miss my guess there is only one dot connecting a certain Skull and Boner family to Ol' Schicklegruber. As we all know in 1941 the Federal Government, under the "Trading with the Enemy Act", froze Prescot's assets off in Union Bank until 1951.
Amnesty International seems to feel the Taguba Report was never meant for the public but was partially released as digital images found it's way into the "public domain". They said, in an open letter to President Bush,
Amnesty International is concerned that the Taguba report was not intended for public release, and that the administration's current response has only come once the report and the photographic evidence came into the public domain.
