It's About Time
Finally, someone has taken some decisive action regarding the Abu Ghraib prison torture. Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense, has implemented a policy that is sure to stem the tide of pictures coming out of Iraq.
He has banned cameras from US military compounds:
MOBILE phones fitted with digital cameras have been banned in US army installations in Iraq on orders from Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, The Business newspaper reported today.
Quoting a Pentagon source, the paper said the US Defence Department believes that some of the damning photos of US soldiers abusing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad were taken with camera phones.
"Digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras have been prohibited in military compounds in Iraq," it said, adding that a "total ban throughout the US military" is in the works.
