Some new photos have been released showing more scenes of torture that had happened at Abu Ghraib prison, over at Daily Kos. Please be advised that the photos are graphic, with plenty of blood and male nudity (genitals have been blacked out).
Your American tax dollars at work.
Update: The photos can also be viewed through The Sydney Morning Herald and BoingBoing. Also, Amnesty International has a flash video that connects the dots on American torture (especially concerning the Maher Arar case).

Update: This post has been rather popular over time, especially for those of you wanting to become stormtroopers. To that group, I would suggest you visit another post of mine, Wired: The Making of Star Wars.
