In a new series of paintings by famed Colombian artist Fernando Botero, Iraqi detainees are shown being beaten by American prison guards, made to wear women's lingerie and suffering other abuse. But, as Dan Molinski, Associated Press Writer mentions: "Botero said the Abu Ghraib paintings will not be included in the U.S. tour unless museums ask for them."

From the Associated Press: "Most of the 50 oils and sketches will be part of a broader exhibit of 170 paintings that opens June 16 in Rome. There are plans for the show to go to Germany later this year and then in 2006 to the United States."
