SBS Dateline, an Australian television program, released new photographs from the U.S. prison in Iraq, Abu Ghraib. The graphic photographs appear below.
These unpublished photographs (reprinted below) are part of a sheaf that the U.S. military has been fighting to keep secret in a court case with the American Civil Liberties Union. Read the news article about the photos' release here.
An article in the Guardian said that "there were reports today that the US government was trying to prevent the new images being broadcast in the US."

Today, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said that the "abuses at Abu Ghraib have been fully investigated," and that the government "believes that a further release of images could only further inflame and possibly incite unnecessary violence in the world and would endanger our military men and women that are serving around the world." Whitman didn't confirm the authenticity of the photos (link).
Disclaimer: The photographs follow, and are very graphic. They are only part of myriad unpublished photographs and what are believed to be six videotapes of the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib
