A rape is a very serious criminal act by any standards. Were alleged rapists tried, sentenced, jailed? If not then why?
Not, particulary sensational? Maybe he sees scenes of rape fron his dog house every day? Photo of rape is not sensational? Moron.
I fancy that the rapists got home arrests with visiting girls. What are these actions, exactly?
So the Mutt unlike highly esteemed mr.Bush is a coward. He is not brave enough to confess wrongdoings, to say simply: forgive us.
Photographs of alleged prisoner abuse which Barack Obama is attempting to censor include images of apparent rape and sexual abuse, it has emerged.
At least one picture shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another is said to show a male translator raping a male detainee.
Further photographs are said to depict sexual assaults on prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube.
Another apparently shows a female prisoner having her clothing forcibly removed to expose her breasts.
Detail of the content emerged from Major General Antonio Taguba, the former army officer who conducted an inquiry into the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq.
Allegations of rape and abuse were included in his 2004 report but the fact there were photographs was never revealed. He has now confirmed their existence in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.

The graphic nature of some of the images may explain the US Presidentâs attempts to block the release of an estimated 2,000 photographs from prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan despite an earlier promise to allow them to be published.
In April, Mr Obamaâs administration said the photographs would be released and it would be âpointless to appealâ against a court judgment in favour of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
But after lobbying from senior military figures, Mr Obama changed his mind saying they could put the safety of troops at risk.
Earlier this month, he said: âThe most direct consequence of releasing them, I believe, would be to inflame anti-American public opinion and to put our troops in greater danger.â
Mr Obama seemed to reinforce that view by adding: âI want to emphasise that these photos that were requested in this case are not particularly sensational,

Mr Obama said the individuals involved had been âidentified, and appropriate actionsâ taken.
Among the graphic statements, which were later released under US freedom of information laws, is that of Kasim Mehaddi Hilas in which he says: âI saw [name of a translator] ******* a kid, his age would be about 15 to 18 years. The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets. Then when I heard screaming I climbed the door because on top it wasnât covered and I saw [name] who was wearing the military uniform, putting his **** in the little kidâs ***â¦. and the female soldier was taking pictures.â
