Botero's Abu Ghraib has been exhibited in major museums around the world, but no American institution will show them. Until now! See them at UC Berkeley's Doe Library from January 29 to March 25, 2007. For more information: ttp://socrates.berkeley.edu:70 1/Events/spring2007/01-29-07-boteroopening/index.htmlComment by US Brigadier General Karpinski:We must face the realities of what the occupation of Iraq has done to US military personnel, prisoners and all Iraqis. Torture and abuse was authorized by the highest levels of our government, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions and human rights. Our elected officials used our ill equipped soldiers by playing on their fear and anguish. These soldiers did what they were told, desperate to please instructors who promised that their actions would help bring the war to an end - negligent, evil minded instructors who were actually independent contractors more concerned about lining their pockets with profits. Thousands of innocent Iraqis were detained without hope of release. They were subjected to torture at the hands of their captors and the guards assigned to protect them. Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other senior officials remain blameless. Those who knew, directed it, endorsed it and supported it stepped casually into the role of torturers and abusers, replacing the former Iraqi dictator himself, Saddam Hussein.

We never forget about Abu Ghraib, these crimes are like Holocaust, 1,300,000 people were murdered, 600,000 disappeared in american prisons - this is Holocaust.

invading, bombing and torturing thirdworld countries... aye Americans truly are a greatest nation lol

The torture was authorized by the highest levels of government but it was these animals that staged and inflicted the acts and they are not victims of anyone. Karpinski is as sick as her soldiers to makes such statements.

I imagine the Iraqi people live in the most fear of all- as civilians in a war zone. I haven't seen evidence of them systematically torturing Americans. These pictures don't convey any "fear as far as the soldiers are concerned. More likely they're a bunch of entitled American bigots which would explain the joyous amusement of the pointing and the laughing at tormented Iraqis.

I completely resent Karpinski's comments- I don't accept that the soldiers responsible were just pawns in this event whose major crime was being "ill equipped" or suffering the effects of " fear" or "anguish". It is beyond outrageous for her to make excuses for these savages. I don't see "fear" and anguish as reasonable excuses in this case especially not by soldiers of the "greatest nation on earth".

As an American citizen I can say the Bush years (including the father) have not been our best years. It's been one embarrassment after another. Thanks to Botero for making us remember these dark years forever. Remember these paintings are not just about America. They're about fascism, intolerance, stupidity, ethnocentrism, cruelty and a sense of insecurity--these qualities have no nationality--and could happen in your home town tomorrow.

I respect Botero as an artist because he has a genuine opinion he wishes to express, not like other financially successful artists he's been compared to like Thomas Kinkade who just says "Here's another fucking cottage".
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
