How much from injury prior? How much of this is detainees being treated like rental car pre-checkout inspection? How much is from abuse? When? Where? How?
With context is impossible to establish, difficult to see this as really helping prevent future abuses
- kafkaesq 11y agoHow much of this is detainees being treated like rental car pre-checkout inspection? That would qualify as abuse. How much is from abuse? The background text of the article indicates that the photos were of prisoners at least alleging abuse by US soldiers.
- beezle 11y agoNo, it would not. If the detainee is already injured this is a way of cataloging what their problems were on arrival. The photos were not used for propaganda nor do they appear (at least those I looked at) to be an effort to humiliate. Allegations are cheap to make and are common of all detainees, whether from a war zone or the 2nd precinct. That does not make them all true (or false). Without any context for each photo (and subject of the photo) there is no way for you, me or anyone to determine what was abuse and what was not.
