Admin Denies Photos Depict Rape, Sexual Abuse
---------------------------------------------



The move came one day after the head of the Abu Ghraib inquiry, Major
General Antonio Taguba, said the photos include images of the rape and
sexual abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US soldiers. White House Press
Secretary Robert Gibbs denied the claim.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs: “I think the Pentagon has been
very clear in a statement saying that the story is not true. I want to
speak generally about some reports I’ve witnessed over the past few
years in the British media, and in some ways I’m surprised it filtered
down.”
