PHOTOS continued from page 3 . documentation to persuade Arabs who have seen the pictures that they were fabricated, said a Qatari attorney who represents some of the prisoners held by the U.S. military at Guan tanamo Bay in Cuba. "You can't just tell the Muslim com munity these pictures are fake. You're going to have to make a pretty good public demonstration of it," said Na jeed al-Nauimi. Al-Nauimi, a former justice minis ter of Qatar, said the treatment of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers portrayed in the photos amounted to "cultural ha tred" because it was so offensive to Is lamic sensibilities. "To strip a Muslim of his clothes is a big issue. To pee over him is a big thing. To strip him and show him in a sexual way... all of that is a kind of cultural hatred," he said. "We have torture and human rights abuses in Syria, Saudi Arabia and here, too, in Qatar, where suspects are detained without trial. But the sick sadism, the sexuality, that is so unacceptable ... a non-Muslim would have to do it." Al-Nauimi said the photos in March of Iraqis mutilating the corpses of Americans in Fallujah displayed similar cultural hatred. "What we saw in Fallujah and what we see in these pictures are the acts of persons who, inside, have maybe lost their minds," he said. "Then we see these engineers killed in Yanbu (Saudi Arabia), it's the same cultural hatred, revenge." Sunday's a'ttack by four Saudi ex tremists killed two Americans, two Britons, an Australian and a Saudi. The attackers mutilated the body of an American, said a U.S. embassy spokeswoman. U.S. Ambassador fames Oberwetter told reporters the Yanbu attack showed weeks of plan ning and so was probably not related to news of the mistreatment of Iraqi detainees. Iraq's U.S.-appointed human rights minister said Tuesday he had resigned to protest abuses of Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, which was noto rious as a torture facility during Sad dam Hussein's regime. Fareed Mohamedi, chief economist of the Petroleum Finance Company in Washington, said the photos of U.S. personnel abusing their charges were a "gift" for Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida organization. "From a recruitment point of view, you can't get any better than this," he said. (c) 2004, The Dallas Morning News. Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services.

She praised the center's educators, who help the children explore the areas of knowledge they're most interested in by coordinating such special events as "bug week" and "recycling week." Also, she is happy with the center be ' cause it accommodates her son's need for vegetarian meal options. University President Dave Frohn mayer also attended the grand open ing. He delivered a speech and snipped the ceremonial yellow rib bon, which was decorated with red, green and blue handprints. Frohninayer extended thanks to all the people who helped make the child care center possible, and gave a special thanks to Reynolds, who do nated money out of his own pocket to establish a large, stone hearth in the front reception area of the center. "I believe the fireplace symbolizes, both literally and figuratively, the warm atmosphere of the communi ty," Frohnmayer said. Contact the news editor atjenniferbear@dailyemerald.com.
