The Taguba Report is available at
Army Times (PDF) Here are the excerpts that contain the word "video":

We reviewed numerous photos and videos of actual detainee abuse taken by detention facility personnel, which are now in the custody and control of the US Army Criminal Investigation Command and the CJTF-7 prosecution team. The photos and videos are not contained in this investigation. ...

(U) The US Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) .. also uncovered numerous photos and videos portraying in graphic detail detainee abuse by Military Police personnel on numerous occasions from October to December 2003.

The allegations of abuse were substantiated by ... the discovery of extremely graphic photographic evidence. Due to the extremely sensitive nature of these photographs and videos, the ongoing CID investigation, and the potential for the criminal prosecution of several suspects, the photographic evidence is not included in the body of my investigation. The pictures and videos are available from the Criminal Investigative Command and the CTJF-7 prosecution team.

And that's it. Very very interesting.

We know who has the photos now: The CIC and CJTF-7 prosecution team. But we still don't know:

1. Who gave the orders to take the photos and videos? Soldiers, or civilians?

2. The system on which they were stored, and who had access to it. Where were the photos "discovered" or "uncovered"? An Army system, or a civilian one?

We also don't know:

3. If there are backups anywhere.

One thing is certain: The Privates and Specialists now on trial are nothing but fall guys. I certainly hope to see another story from Hersh in next week's
