The Memory Hole "Rescuing knowledge, freeing information"... has pictures of torture in US prisons in Iraq... and lots of other stories you definitely shouldn't read.

Also: there's a Memory Blog

And from the site's "Cold Shouldered Story of the Week" Archive:

Army sent mentally ill troops to Iraq Mark Benjamin, United Press International, 3/12/2004

The Army appears to have "inappropriately" deployed soldiers to Iraq who already were diagnosed with mental problems, according to documents obtained by United Press International.

More than two dozen suicides by U.S. troops in Iraq, and hundreds of medical evacuations for psychiatric problems, have raised concerns about the mental health of soldiers in Operation Iraqi Freedom. An Army Medical Department after-action report obtained by UPI suggests that the Army sent some soldiers to war who were mentally unfit in the first place.

...hmmmm...
