Teenagers Tortured with Dogs at Abu Ghraib

According to the Washington Post, the Schlesinger Report will show that MPs were using dogs to make juveniles -- as young as 15 years old -- urinate on themselves as part of a competition.

The report also substantiates claims of rape (the ages of the victims unspecified, but presumably adults given that if they had been juveniles there would have been special responsibility to declare this)--according to sources for the Washington Post, "at least one male detainee was sodomized by one of his captors at Abu Ghraib."

I wonder--will the Schlesinger Report be released on Bad News Friday so that it's buried?  Let's hope that its authors have more self-respect.
