CBS to Show Photos of Iraqi POW Abuse

If you're by a tv, tune in to '60 Minutes II' tonight. It will be airing photos of alleged abuse of Iraqi POW's by U.S. Troops:

U.S. military police stacked Iraqi prisoners in a human pyramid, and attached wires to one detainee to convince him he might be electrocuted, according to photographs obtained by CBS News which led to criminal charges against six American soldiers. CBS said the photos, to be shown Wednesday night on "60 Minutes II," were taken late last year at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, where American soldiers were holding hundreds of prisoners captured during the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
