Recently, a photo of Manadel Al Jamadi has resurfaced as evidence of the approximately 100 detainees who have died in US military and CIA custody:

This led me to wonder, where did all the others go? I felt it was important to post more images to preserve what little knowledge we have of what happened.

I had saved a couple of images to my computer years ago. They're below. But first, more photos of Al Jamadi, who is said to have died after just 30 minutes of interrogation while hanging from his wrists:

That's his wife and son.

Here is Asad Abdul Kareem Abdul Jaleel, who, it was claimed, merely died in his sleep:

And in a happier time:

Here are the two from my computer:

Disturbingly, I don't know who either of these people are. I don't know if the man below is even alive.

But I know there are others. Can anyone ID these two or find more? Nothing this important should fall down the memory hole.

And remember, this was not torture. A few corpses do not justify an investigation.
