Bingo.<br><br>
The photos are used to terrorize everyone else. You certainly wouldn't want end up in one..................<br><br>
Part of the plan. Part of the orders to be executed by the grunts. We've been at this torture business for years.<br><br>
I posted this elsewhere, it's a rough read but very telling as to all that goes on.<br><br><a href="http://www.salon.com/books/review/2002/11/19/ortiz/index.html" target="_blank">"The Blindfold's Eyes" by Dianna Ortiz</a><br><br><div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px;">

(Priests and nuns, human-rights workers, doctors, labor activists and randomly chosen campesinos had been tortured in Guatemala for decades, not so much to get information as to terrorize entire trades and populations.)</td>

<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="99%"><tr><td class="alt2" style="border:1px inset;">For torture, as the most strategic and deliberate of all acts of abuse, tries to create a narrative in which the victim is completely ugly and impossible to identify with -- if you will, a sort of hate movie in which the torturer is the only possible hero, the only role a viewer can comfortably relate to. The victim is made to seem completely animal, disgusting, inhuman. In Ortiz's case, the torturers have the gall to make a video of what they do to her so that she can be controlled by the shame its release would cause her. (Astonishingly, they are not afraid that the video might shame them.)</td>
