New photos depict Iraqi prisoner abuses
By: XinHuaNet May 20, 2004
BEIJING, May 20 (Xinhuanet) -- ABCNEWS has obtained two new photos taken at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq showing Spc. Charles Graner and Spc. Sabrina Harman posing over the body of a detainee who was allegedly beaten to death by CIA or civilian interrogators in the prison's showers. The detainee's name was Manadel al-Jamadi.

According to testimony from Spc. Jason Kenner, obtained by ABCNEWS,
the man was brought to the prison by U.S. Navy Seals in good health. Kenner
said he saw extensive bruising on the detainee's body when he was brought
out of the showers, dead.
Kenner says the body was packed in ice during a "battle" between
CIA and military interrogators over who should dispose of the body.
The Justice Department opened an investigation into this death and four others
today following a referral from the CIA.
The photos were taken by Staff Sgt. Ivan "Chip" Frederick , who
in e-mails to his family has asked why the people responsible for the prisoner's
death were not being prosecuted in the same manner that he is.

Frederick, Graner, and Harman are among six reservists from
the 372nd Military Police Company who are facing charges in the abuse scandal.
A lawyer for Graner, Guy Womack, told ABCNEWS the photo of his client represents
inappropriate "gallows humor." Womack questioned why U.S. officials
have not opened a criminal investigation into alleged murders at Abu Ghraib,
while the investigation of his client has proceeded at a rapid pace.
A seventh member of the unit, Spc. Jeremy Sivits, pleaded guilty today to
four counts for taking pictures of naked Iraqi prisoners being humiliated.
Sivits received the maximum penalty of a year in prison and a bad conduct
discharge.
