The Sources of Scott Horton

Published



Scott Horton, crusader for terrorist rights and wanna-be national security reporter, has been caught with his pants down — again. Last week, Horton wrote in response to “revelations” in the British press that the photographs President Obama had suppressed contained images of rape and sexual abuse. Horton claimed to confirm this allegation:

The Daily Beast has confirmed that the photographs of abuses at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, which President Obama, in a reversal, decided not to release, depict sexually explicit acts, including a uniformed soldier receiving oral sex from a female prisoner, a government contractor engaged in an act of sodomy with a male prisoner and scenes of forced masturbation, forced exhibition, and penetration involving phosphorous sticks and brooms…. The Daily Beast has obtained specific corroboration of the British account, which appeared in the London Daily Telegraph, from several reliable sources, including a highly credible senior military officer with firsthand knowledge, who provided even more detail about the graphic photographs that have been withheld from the public by the Obama administration.
