What a mess. The Daily Telegraph reported on Thursday that Major General Antonio Taguba had seen the Abu Ghraib photos Barack Obama's trying to suppress, and that they were really, really bad. Now Salon's reporting that Taguba hadn't actually seen them. This is ugly.

A new report says that unreleased photos of abuse by the U.S. military, the same photos Barack Obama refused to release a few weeks ago, contain graphic images of rape, torture and sexual abuse perpetrated by American soldiers.
