How many of them were even disfigured?
Official counts haven't been made public but here are a couple of photos. Keep in mind that the US military personel are torturing iraqis at Abu Ghraib, the prisons that Saddam used for the same purpose. They even made use of some of his devices such as electrodes coming out of the walls.

A couple more piles of bodies.
These photos don't show the entirety of the torture at Abu Ghraib. They are just some of the ones that were released to the media. Donald Rumsfeld expressed a desire to punish whoever had made them public. Other coverage including the footage of US soldiers riding around on old women before slaughtering them and the photos of prisoners being forced to eat their own cut-off genitals were considered too graphic for release to the media.
