The hooded man, 2003

The hooded man, 2003 While this picture may look like a fake and creepy image you might see on a creepypasta website or a strange website, the truth is it is an actual real image. This image shows an Iraqi prisoner being tortured in Abu Ghraib prison, and this is one of the tamer images that come from a series of photos that show US soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. This prison was used as a symbol of terror by Saddam Hussein, but the US used it to detain suspected insurgents. This image is taken by Staff Sargent Ivan Fredrick and is

one of the thousands taken at the prison. The prisoner here is undergoing psychological and physical torture. He is deprived of sight, his clothes and his dignity. He also had electric wires tied to his fingers so that he would be electrocuted if he fell off the box. His pose is also very Christlike. The prisoner's name is Ali al-Qaisi. He was wrongly arrested for being an insurgent when he complained of American soldiers dumping rubbish on a football field in his town. Qaisi however, was known to be sympathetic towards the insurgents, so US authorities arrested him to question him. The following is a quote from Qaisi from when he entered the prison: "As soon as one enters the prison they hang them on the door of the metal cell, then they electrocute the person, and urinate on them". Ivan Frederick is now a war criminal. 11 staff were arrested from the prison. Frederick was given an 8-year prison sentence, however, he only served 4 years. A very disturbing image.
