| No worries, we have discussed the Abu Ghraib scandal before, but not this specific aspect of it. I can't make any promises about how long it will stay open (these things can turn south real quick) but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.
As far as interrogation techniques go, although they went far too far with some of them, it is understandable how those photographs could be VERY useful for interrogation purposes. If you take some extremist fundamentalist Muslim and take a picture of him laying on the floor naked with a female holding his leash, then show said photo to him and say "tell us what you know or we're going to make 5,000 of these and drop them over your hometown," I bet you dollars to donuts you'd run through a half a dozen tapes on you recorder.
