Tortured Art

The True Power of Fernando Botero's Abu Ghraib Paintings.
Take a look at this slide show of Columbian artist Fernando Botero's new series of powerful paintings of the torture endured by Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib. A lawsuit on behalf of 12 former detainees against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for war crimes committed at Abu Ghraib was turned in to a German prosecutor on Tuesday.
