Photographs from the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, Iraq.
A White House official says the treatment of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison is "shameless and unacceptable." Stronger language is being used elsewhere. "The six morons who lost the war," is how one Pentagon official was quoted, referring to the American soldiers and contractors said to be responsible for everything from sexual abuse to murder.
Beyond the name calling are the very serious questions of how the abuses are being viewed both here and abroad, and who will be held accountable. As George W. Bush prepares to make his case in front of two Arab networks, some American politicians are calling for more than a public relations Band-Aid. They want heads to roll at the highest level.
