On Wednesday 16 February 2006, Australian public broadcaster SBS current affairs program DATELINE telecast a segment featuring 60 new photos of the torture inflicted on prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. These photos were secured by court order - the ACLU figures prominently in the report - but these photos haven't yet been shown in the media anywhere in the United States. Because of the broadcast on SBS, you now have access to both Web-downloadable versions and BitTorrent file-sharing network versions of the broadcast on this site. THESE PHOTOS ARE VERY DISTURBING. Please do not view this video if you are easily disturbed by graphic imagery of torture and death.

These files are all hosted on a server located in the United States to speed access for US viewers. > Note: If you do know how to use BitTorrent, please download the appropriate BitTorrent file and use that. This server in the US is well-connected but does not have infinite bandwidth. If many people share the BitTorrent version of this movie, it will greatly speed download times.

If you find you can't play the video on your computer, download the VideoLAN program from here. This program will play the files. VideoLAN works on PCs, Macs, and LINUX boxes. HIG
