Data is emerging, no
matter how the administration attempts to hide it, that the new photos
and video of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison include the torture of children.
Norway's Prime
Minister's office says it plans to address the situation with the U.S.
"in a very severe and direct way."
Could this mean losing
yet another ally in the Iraq occupation? Amnesty International in Norway
has said that Norway can no longer continue their occupation of Iraq, or
their support of US policy in this matter.
And some countries, as
Tom Tomorrow notes, actually listen to their activists.
While there isn't even
an inkling of this in the US Mainstream media, all over the world people
are beginning to read about the US abusing children at Abu Ghraib.

The
Sunday Herald in Scotland has a piece on the abuse of children at
the notorious prison:
From
Iraq's Child Prisoners, written one year ago:
It was early last
October that Kasim Mehaddi Hilas says he witnessed the rape of a boy
prisoner aged about 15 in the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
�The kid was hurting very bad and they covered
all the doors with sheets,� he said in a statement given to
investigators probing prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib.
�Then, when I heard the screaming I climbed
the door � and I saw [the soldier�s name is deleted] who was wearing
a military uniform.� Hilas, who was himself threatened with
being sexually assaulted in Abu Graib, then describes in horrific
detail how the soldier raped �the little kid�.

being shown in magazines across the world.
