Israeli nationals "assisting" at Abu Ghraib?

Word in NYC diplomatic circles is that some of the "civilians" seen in recent Iraq prison photos are in fact Israeli nationals "advising" U.S. forces.

Neither U.S. nor Iraqi diplomatic officials in NYC or Washington were available for comment.

General Taguba's report rather mysteriously mentions "third country nationals". If those photos are indeed of Israeli nationals, it would seem to confirm speculation that Israel has been involved in the Abu Ghraib tortures.

Although I don't see any reason why we need them, other than to piss off the Arabs more, because we have surely proven ourselves capable of sadism on our own in countless other incidents both domestic and abroad.
