As President George Bush appeared on Arabic television today in a bid to limit the damage caused by photographs of American soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, a new image emerged which would shock the world.
A photograph from an internal military report into mistreatment of prisoners, and leaked to a US magazine, showed the battered corpse of a prisoner.
In the picture, obtained by the New Yorker magazine, the dead inmate was wrapped in cellophane and packed in ice.
Another photograph showed an empty room at the Abu Ghraib prison – centre of the scandal – splattered with blood.
The good news from Iraq just keeps rolling in. The left image is the new one. The image on the right was from 60 minutes II.
