This is a topic we’ve reported on before, yet it bears repeating: Of the many atrocities the U.S. government conceal from the Torture Report, this included a disturbing video that was never made public which shows U.S. soldiers raping young boys in front of their mothers.
According to many well respected journalists, including investigative reporter for The Associated Press, Seymour Hersh, the video was recorded at Abu Ghraib, the notorious U.S. torture dungeon in Iraq.
Hersh says it is only a matter of time before the video is made public. In this 2014 statement he made at ACLU, he gives some insight into the Pentagon’s secret tape:
“Debating about it, ummm … Some of the worst things that happened you don’t know about, okay? Videos, um, there are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib … The women were passing messages out saying ‘Please come and kill me, because of what’s happened’ and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror. It’s going to come out.
“It’s impossible to say to yourself how did we get there? Who are we? Who are these people that sent us there? When I did My Lai I was very troubled like anybody in his right mind would be about what happened. I ended up in something I wrote saying in the end I said that the people who did the killing were as much victims as the people they killed because of the scars they had, I can tell you some of the personal stories by some of the people who were in these units witnessed this. I can also tell you written complaints were made to the highest officers and so we’re dealing with an enormous massive amount of criminal wrongdoing that was covered up at the highest command out there and higher, and we have to get to it and we will. We will. You know there’s enough out there, they can’t (Applause). …. So it’s going to be an interesting election year.”
In a later speech made by Hersh at the University of Chicago:
“You haven’t begun to see evil… horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run.”
Here is also a translated testimony provided by detainee, Kasim Mehaddi Hilas: Source. In that testimony, Hilas states (warning; this testimony is of an explicit nature):
“I saw [name blacked out] fucking a kid, his age would be about 15-18 years. The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets. Then when I heard the screaming I climbed the door because on top it wasn’t covered and I saw [blacked out], who was wearing the military uniform putting his dick in the little kid’s ass, I couldn’t see the face of the kid because his face wasn’t in front of the door. And the female soldier was taking pictures.”
This report was not easy to write, and the topic is even harder to acknowledge and discuss, however it’s crucial that we understand exactly what the U.S. government is capable of. Now that The Torture Report has been released, we no longer have the luxury of remaining ignorant to the truth.
As mentioned by John Vibes of the Anti-media, it is important now more than ever to keep pressure on the Department of Defense, who is still doing their best to keep all of this quiet. So with that in mind, we will continue to make the public aware of the true depths of depravity the U.S. is capable of.

There’s a certain kind of hell reserved for creatures like this …
i hope so. as a mother this is beyond painful to think about =(
I’m curious about the time line of this report. Those are not our uniforms in the pic, does the pic go with the story?
Photos are from this article posted in 2006 http://www.antiwar.com/news/?articleid=8560
I try to use only trusted sources. Though Anonymous is earning my trust, I admit I am still a little on the fence. Very interesting, though. Makes me think.
Makes you think??? WTF… Please enlighten us as to why you think this is “very interesting” as if you are examining some minor clue in a children’s story??? Let me guess? You’re American!
The amount of compassion she shows is staggering.
Not all Americans are this stupid.. Just most..
As an American this horrified me, as a mother I am sickened. I pray anyone who did this is punished by death. I’m so sorry to the families that suffered by the hands of these monsters.
You are Canadian right? Eat shit.
Suck a fat one you judgmental prick
Who gives a fuk. Let them rape all the goat humping Muslims. They’re the worst kind of people & are probably go join Isis anyway.
Wtf is wrong with you.
Shut up you think it’s ok to rape little kids Muslim or not you sick retarded pathetic excuse for a human being
Maybe he is thinking because the story is just that, a story without any verifiable evidence thus far. Your tirade for a persons open mind is reason why so many would be skeptical. Don’t judge simply because you choose to follow blindly.
iTS NOT A SIMPLE JUDGEMENT. THERE WERE TAPES THAT ACTUALLY CAME OUT AND SHOWED PARTS OF IT… tHE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AT ONE POINT HAD SEGMENT AND TOLD THE TRUTH …. TRUE THEY DID IT QUICKLY HOWEVER I WAS AMAZED THEY TOLD THE TRUTH AT ALL…..
EITHER WAY, THIS SORTA THING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND WHEN WE BECOME COMPLACENT OR DECIDE NOT TO CARE FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEN WE TOO ARE JUST AS GUILTY SO FUCK THAT !!!! ANYONE WHO DOES SUCH AN ACT IS SICK AND NEEDS TO BE DONE AWAY WITH!!!! END OF STORY!!! I SUGGEST PEOPLE DO THEIR HOMEWORK AND LOOK THINGS UP !! OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTHS OF THE WORLD…… ONCE YOU DO, ” MAKE A DIFFERENCE” DO SOMETHING…. .SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING!!
Right!
Those are definitely US uniforms. Nice try. Next up the feminist expresses doubt, because any mention of men/boys being victims goes against the feminist narrative of women being the professional, full-time victims. It must be ridiculed or down played. Of course the feminist “has doubts.”
They definitely are US uniforms. The picture is a freeze frame from a video. Where is the video?
That screen shot is from prison cctv, in a millitary prison.
1. This witness report has supposedly come from a detainee, first hand experience lets me conclude that the vilidity will be some what lacking.
2. The rape of minors is widespread in the middle east, ive seen it and been forced to turn my head from it (to my eternal shame), but its a cultural problem that we can not change.
3. Leading on from my last, most iraqie and afghans couldnt tell apart a russian soldier from a dutch. The majority couldn’t tell you what year they were born in. So before we label every US soldier a “child rapist”, take some things with a pinch of salt.
No true feminist should doubt this. Male/boys rape is a serious issue and one that is heavily down played not only by women but by men as well. This is wrong and perverse, but don’t make it out to be that all feminist are evil and just don’t understand the ways of the world. Men are in need of feminists just as females for this very reason. Male/boy rape has to be taken seriously, it is just as prominent as female rape and less likely to be reported. That is an issue that needs to be addressed. THIS is an issue that needs to be addressed and handled quickly. I can only imagine the pain those boys were in, the humiliation they must feel. No one should have to go through that, regardless of whether they are female or male. It is unacceptable.
Sincerely,
Your average feminist.
I AM ASHAMED OF ALL OF THIS…. A LITTLE BOY OR GIRL EITHER WAY ITS JUST AS SICKENING AND NO DOWNPLAYING SHOULD EVER TAKE PLACE….. NOT EVERY WOMAN OR SHALL I SAY FEMINIST IS THAT WAY….. TRUST AND BELIEVE I AM SICKENED AND I CAN SEE THE WORLD FOR WHAT IT IS … MY HEART GOES OUT TO THESE POOR BABY BOYS AND THEIR MOTHERS WHO ENDURED THIS BULLSHIT!!…… THE WORLD IS SICK AND REGARDLESS OF WHO IS HARMED THIS WAY IT’S EQUALLY AS SICKENING !!!! THERE IS SO MUCH OF THIS NOW IT’S HARD TO SAY WHETHER THE MAJORITY OF HUMAN BEINGS ARE THIS SICK OR IF THERE IS ANY DECENT NUMBER OF HUMANS LEFT ESPECIALLY GIVEN WHAT WE ARE READING IN THIS STORY…..
This page, that is in no way representative of the actual anonymous colective at all, continues its shoty stories that do not list credible sources. Also if you note, they have become increasingly pro-muslim propaganda and anti-western as of late. Don’t believe everything on the internet.
Wow, that’s your reasoning for such a crime!!!!
There is no monitoring on US military, They should be hanged till death for comitting such crime.
where the fuck is fbi? they claim to protect child abuse.
Same. Same.

Yes the picture is one of the leaked photos, I think from abu gahrib. This stuff was reported pretty widely, and there were promises of disclosure, until the US administration realised how bad the material was and had to cover it up. This is also how they got Khalid mohammed to admit to everything they demanded.
Not that this story has overt reliability problems, but anonymous is not trustworthy. Look at how they report on israel: either retarted or willfully altering the narrative.
I’ll believe it when I see the video. And not until then. And Maz, You clearly don’t know any real Americans. As a 26 year veteran; I would volunteer to put down the dogs that perpetrated this kind of atrocity.
Jumping to conclusions doesn’t help any situation. That is the kind of thing that causes Arab springs and unwarranted death.
We’ll said brotha
This story is over a decade old. Your timing about Hersch’s comments is all wrong. It happened in 2004, not 2014. This is ooooooold news, AND the videos never materialized, nor will they ever.
It’s old news if it’s still happening, does it make it right?
What does it matter when it happened. That is the problem with you dogs. You commit atrocities, and think there is an expiration date. Hell No! You will burn for eternity.
This is total bullshit. 100% made up.
The “evidence” for this never showed up. The video of Islamic State pedophiles is abundant however. From boys to sheep to baby girls, nothing is safe from the pigs of Islam.
Tsk…tsk…this is just a tip in the iceberg.i hope the leaks will continue.the truth will always prevail.it is stronger than what the us government tries to fabricate in the minds of their people.
Regardless of when this happened..
This is WRONG! raping children is never okay. People get so caught up in all the drama & point blame everywhere but how is hurting children okay?
There is dark corner in Hell reserved for monsters like this. How does a human being do this to another human being. I don’t even know what else to say.. I just can’t even wrap my head around this sick madness.
U go to war who shoul’nt have been against the law u kill millions of people there u kill.ur own then you rape kids shame on u America.what is next….ignorance complete same guy who send u there lies lies lies
I think what we need to focus on is what is happening, not whether or not the people involved are
:’us’ or ‘Iraqi.’.. Labels don’t matter.. Treatment of another human being is what matters
There is a video about this conference where young soldiers do tell the truth about what sort of war in afghanistan and iraq they were fighting. Basically once arrived at location, they got told that there was no war on terror, no terrorists of 9/11 to be apprehended…. their orders were to kill anybody they felt like killing, mostly of course, were innocent civilians. They did admit they got pumped up to kill, first kill was also prized by their superiors, basically they were just a bunch of assassins. They also got instructed to torture and/or kill prisoners. Tortures did include sexual abuse, women soldiers abusing verbally, stress position, psycho terror with dogs, and so forth and so forth. Most of these soldiers criminal never got punished by the law. Within few months or so they did realize what was going on and once back they decided to tell the world their killings, no matter if prison was the price to pay. These kids got ruined for life for nothing. Absolutely nothing. On top of it all, nobody ever talks about the over a mil iraqui and afgani. Iraq got dirtied with radioactive waste and now most of the survivors (iraq is almost no more, completely destroyed for no reason but petrol) are suffering the consequences, kids born deformed too. The iraqi gov has asked several times to uk us and whoever other pig to come back and clean up the crap left behind on purpose…no not their problems. This is not the only group of soldiers that actually has been telling the world what sort of criminal gov they have been working for, there are many others. It is not a puerile conspiracy theory in order to boycott yankee gov…no need to lower to that disgusting level of lies as well… this is what that bunch of pigs have been and still commanded the soldiers to do to those people. Not only these pigs have destroyed country after country lying to the entire world and troops, but also wont take any responsibilities for their orders of mass murder with whatever fancied at the time… they are actually still walking free and some of this disgrace of human race has even become president. They did use the media to install fear and brainwash the so called educated and civilized world to the point the war in iraq got accepted when actually at first, not even fkin blair wanted it, nobody did actually agreed on this idiotic useless invasion (iraq). Which by the way was not to retrieve whatever nuclear bomb but sumerian/ancient artifacts… Wake up people. The yankee gov has been mass murdering for no fkin reason for decades. The yankee gov has invented the war on terror. The moronic world sat watched and believed as per planned. Now besides feeling ashamed of being a yankee and being ashamed of your gov…. are you gonna sit on yer couch and wait for the tv to tell you what to do, or are you gonna actually do something about it? Yankees are the most hated, the most disrespected, the most distrusted, the most disrespected who make the entire world sick to its stomach. This is not an insult, this is the real reality show. Hosted by truth. Cause truth has got the awesome habit to sooner or later pop out. Well done!
How uplifting wise Fool, an very beautiful of course, welldone!
All of them deserve to be beat to death.
And then americans cry that terrorists are trying to hurt them? You people think you can do all the horrible stuff one cannot even imagine to the kids and women and nobody’s gonna come after you? This is how you create terrorists.
All I can say is that, this is disgusting! They shouldn’t be doing this to anyone! I mean, this is children being raped. This is in my books, wrong! Completely wrong!!! If you ask me, I don’t think that I would be too happy if this happened to me, would you be pleased about it or, find it interesting? In fact, the first thing I would do, would probably be to call the police on them. Because they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it!!!
Seriously mia you would’ve called iraqi terror militia whom helped solidify this carnage and then helped cover it up>?.
Theres international law that protects prisoners of war…
Most people break those laws {UN}, just by paying in tax to criminal administration of governance.
Brits ‘kinda’ get a fresh start, but they can easily sh00t themselves in the foot, hand, and mouth.
Governments get away with it due to diplomatic unity, you scratch our we’ll scratch his cycle, terribly hard to get out of, regardless of nationalist views..
Male or female,
Young or old,
USA, or Middle Eastern,
Black, or white, brown or pink, purple or blue, green or turquoise, I DONT GIVE A SHIT!!
It shouldn’t matter what COLOR YOU ARE. What RACE, RELIGION,ORIGIN,NATIONALITY,CREED,WHAT SEXUAL PREFERENCE YOU PREFER,
WHAT IS WRONG IS WRONG
IM AN AMERICAN, WE ARE NOT ALL SICK BASTARDS!!!!
I HAVE BEEN RAPED.
I STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND I DONT CARE WHAT “NATIONALITY” THEY ARE,WHO EVER THE MONSTERS ARE WHO DO SUCH THINGS LIKE THIS, DESERVE TO DIE.
We have to remember that stereotypes only bring us DOWN . Not all “AMERICANS” ARE BAD, JUST LIKE EVERY “MIDDLE EASTERN(ER)” ARE SO CALLED “TERRORISTS” (Afghani / Islamic).
American soldiers also joined Alqueda and ISIS they got paid more. I’m sure American soldiers are going to rape young boys and make sure it video taped.
Having suffered at the hand of two child molesting uncles I know the horrors those children endured and I can honestly say that if I had been there Supposed friend or foe, I would be dead or in jail right now because they would have died. I have been subject to so many other hings in this life that I would never allow this to happen if I were there without stopping it permanently. Perverts do not change and I have seen to many pervs either go to jail and come out worse or they slide around hiding out in one area or another for a short time them moving on to another temporary hiding place. I saw no less than 9 Child molesters in the military when I was in and I had to be very careful because some had lots of rank so who I talked to about it had to have more rank or a way to deal with them. If I had been in this situation though They would have died due to friendly fire because this is sick and twisted and I wold never allow it if I had a way to stop it. Being a soldier in that part of the world I am positive that each has their assigned weapon and an M-16 does a good job of fixing that type of problem.
