LINKED PHOTOS BELOW NSFW.

Website Wired.com has obtained a cache of previously unreleased pictures from Abu Ghraib. The pictures were given to the magazine by psychologist Philip Zimbardo, the man behind the Stanford Prison Experiment and an expert defense witness for court-martialed Abu Ghraib guard Chip Frederick. Zimbardo was giving a lecture at the Monterey, CA TED Conference, which Wired.com is liveblogging.

The photo set Wired.com acquired contains pictures of American soldiers posing with decaying corpses, prisoners covered in feces, prisoners being attacked by dogs, prisoners being forced into simulated sex acts and various depictions of torture. Again, NSFW.
