拉姆斯菲尔德禁止驻伊美军军营用照相手机

　　据报道，美国国防部长拉姆斯菲尔德已经下令，禁止驻伊美军士兵在军营里使用带有照相功能的手机。报道援引五角大楼消息人士的话称，由于国防部认为一些有关美军士兵在伊拉克阿布格莱布监狱虐待伊战俘的照片都是用照相手机拍报摄的，所以才做出上述决定。 　　上述消息人士称：据相机、摄像机以及照相手机已经被禁止在美军驻伊拉克军营里使用，而且五角大楼正在考虑在所有美军军营里下达这一禁令

　　此前，美国媒体公布了一些有关美军士兵虐待伊拉克战俘的新照片，据称美国政府方面本来试图掩饰这些照片。

　　Cellphones fitted with digital cameras have been banned in US army installations in Iraq on orders from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a business newspaper reported.

　　Quoting a Pentagon source, The Business newspaper said the US Defense Department believes that some of the damning photos of US soldiers abusing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad were taken with camera phones.

　　"Digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras have been prohibited in military compounds in Iraq," it said, adding that a "total ban throughout the US military" is in the works.

　　Disturbing new photos of Iraqi prisoner abuse, which the US government had reportedly tried to keep hidden, were published Friday in the Washington Post newspaper.

　　The photos emerged along with details of testimony from inmates at Abu Ghraib who said they were sexually molested by female soldiers, beaten, sodomized and forced to eat food from toilets.
