Naked Iraqi prisoners were stacked in a human pyramid, and wires were attached to one to convince him he could be electrocuted, according to photographs CBS News obtained. Criminal charges have been laid against six military police. The photos, shown last night on 60 Minutes II, were taken late last year at Abu Ghraib, a prison for hundreds captured in the invasion/occupation.
In March, the U.S. Army announced six members from the 800th Military Police Brigade faced court martial for alleged abuse of about 20 prisoners on criminal charges that include cruelty and maltreatment, assault and indecent acts with another person. Also urged was disciplinary action against seven officers, who helped run the prison, including Brig.-Gen. Janice Karpinski who commands the 800th Brigade.
