A Travesty Of Justice: Abu Ghraib Dog Handler Is Found Guilty |
The only crime that was committed is the harrassment and defamation of
character suffered by Sgt. Smith. This soldier was only doing his duty. The
Pentagon should not allow the liberal press to dictate 'justice'. Sgt. Smith
deserves an apology, perhaps some financial compensation, and a commendation
for a 'job well done'.

Abu Ghraib Dog Handler Is Found Guilty
WASHINGTON -- An Army sergeant was found guilty today of using his military
dog to terrorize and humiliate detainees at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison at the
height of a wave of prisoner abuses.
A military jury in Ft. Meade, Md., found Sgt. Michael J. Smith guilty on six
of 13 charges that the soldier used his dog to harass and threaten inmates
at Abu Ghraib in late 2003 and early 2004.
Smith faces up to 8 1/2 years in prison, the loss of all pay and a
dishonorable discharge. A decision on sentencing is expected as soon as
Wednesday in the second phase of the court-martial proceeding. If convicted
on all 13 charges, Smith had faced 24 1/2 years in prison, the harshest
potential sentence of any soldier charged in the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal.

I agree that in "doing his duty," Smith was doing what he was ordered to
do.
Let's go up the chain of command and prosecute them all....including
Rumsfeld and Bush.
And when we line up Bush with a blindfold and any last request, let's do
the same to his worshippers (like the one posting here) who continually
defend his crimes and atrocities.
One can't really determine which is worse: the one committing the crimes
and atrocities, or the one who defends them and is proud of them.

I didn't realize the liberal press was on the jury. I guess the Bush

It doesn't matter who told him to do it.
He's a terrorist thug who got off *easy*.
We're fighting a war *against* terrorism - and that means that he and his
supporters are our enemy.
This conviction strikes a blow against global, faith-based terrorism.

of a pardon unnecessary.

Interestingly enough, the press doesn't dictate justice. Laws dictate
justice. I heard the same opinion on talk radio yesterday: The
country would be better off if the government was able to do anything
it wants without regard to the legalities and that the press shouldn't
be allowed to report it. All I can say is that if you want this type
of government, I'm not sure why you cheer the deposition of Saddam.
The freedom of the press, even when it reports on or criticizes the
actions of the government or administration, is guaranteed by the
Constitution, no matter if some consider the press liberal or not.
Declaring that the government should be allowed to conduct war in
secrecy in any way it wishes is in contravention of the US
Constitution, the Geneva Convention, and the ideals upon which this
representative republic was founded. The government represents the
people of the United States, and that government, as immortalized in
the Gettysburg Address, is "of the people, by the people, for the
people" not of the Pentagon, by the Pentagon, and for the Pentagon.
The Pentagon answers to the people not the other way around.
Be careful what you wish for.
Note: The soldier in question will be pardoned by the end of Bush
43's Presidency.

Young, do me a favor. Go to Google, click "Images," then type in "Abu

"Search."

Yes, they were. It could be called "psychological torture" if you wish.
Like when they tell a prisoner that he's going to be executed, they prep
him up then shoot blanks.
The soldiers may have gone overboard in

The soldiers should be court-martialled, as the whole chain of command.
BTW, you don't seem to care one bit about the prisoner in question.
Heck, looks like nobody does...
Was he convicted of something?

Probably lonely. I believe, in order to finally get rid of Young, we
must stop feeding him. Stop responding to his stupid posts, stop
responding to him. Eventually, he'll get the message. If you feel
unable to ignore his posts, I suggest a judicious plonking.

He was convicted by a General Court Martial
Not a moment too soon.
The Bush regime acknowledges that 30,000 Iraqi civilians, largely women
and children, have been killed as a result of Bush's invasion. Others
who have looked at civilian casualties with greater attention have come
up with numbers three to six times as large. The Johns Hopkins study
accounted for 98,000 civilian deaths. Patrick Cockburn, using more
sophisticated statistical analysis, concluded that 180,000 Iraqis died
as a result of Bush's invasion. The former prime minister Iyad Allawi
says that Iraqi sectarian violence alone is claiming 50-60 deaths per
day, or 18,000-22,000 annually, a figure that could quickly worsen.
Some Iraqis were killed by "smart bombs" that weren't very smart and
dropped on hospitals, schools, and weddings. Others were mistaken for
resistance fighters and killed. Still others were killed by spooked,
trigger-happy U.S. troops. And many died due to the breakdown of the
Iraqi health system.
Now comes a report in the online edition of Time magazine that U.S.
Marines went on a rampage in the village of Haditha and deliberately
slaughtered 15 unarmed Iraqis in their homes. The Iraqis were still in
their bed clothes, and 10 of the 15 were women and children.
The Marines turned in a false report that the civilians were killed by
an insurgent bomb. But the evidence of wanton carnage was too powerful.
Pressed by Time's collection of evidence, U.S. military officials in
Baghdad opened an investigation. Time reports that "according to
military officials, the inquiry acknowledged that, contrary to the
military's initial report, the 15 civilians killed on Nov. 19 died at
the hands of the Marines, not the insurgents. The military announced
last week that the matter has been handed over to the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service, which will conduct a criminal investigation."
If this story is true, under Donald Rumsfeld and George Bush's
leadership, proud and honorable U.S. Marines have degenerated into the
Waffen SS. Those of us raised on John Wayne war movies find this very
hard to take.
A fish rots from the head. Clearly, deception in the Oval Office is
corrupting the U.S. military. One reader reported that on March 19 his
local PBS station aired a program which discussed the deaths of two
young American soldiers in friendly fire incidents similar to Pat
Tillman's death. In each case, he reports, "elements within the
military falsified reports and attempted to shift blame to either enemy
combatants or allied (Polish) forces."
The neocons have yet to tell us the real reason for their assault on
Iraq, which has so far produced 20,000 dead, maimed, and wounded U.S.
soldiers, between 30,000 and 180,000 (and rising) dead Iraqis, and
demoralized U.S. Marines to the point that they commit atrocities on
women and children.
Would real Americans accept these blows for the sake of an undeclared
agenda? Perhaps it is true that Americans don't live here any longer.
