FRC Statement on Iraqi Prisoner Abuse Controversy
P.R.Newswire, 5/12/2004 16:40
WASHINGTON, May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the continuing
controversy regarding the photos of Iraqi prisoners, Family Research
Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins released the following statement:
"The latest fallout from the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by members of the
U.S. military is not political but rather further acts of terror against
innocent Americans. Nick Berg, a 26 year-old contractor from
Pennsylvania, was seen being executed on an al Qaeda-linked Web site by
five men in jihadist's garb. The Muslim terrorists said the dignity of
the Muslim men and women in Abu Ghraib 'is not redeemed except by blood
and souls ... '
"The liberal media continues to seize upon the abuse of Iraqi prisoners
and this latest act of terror in an effort to damage the Bush
Administration. The photos coming out of Iraq cannot be ignored. But, it
is ridiculous to suggest that the Bush Administration or military boot
camps are responsible for teaching our young soldiers this behavior. We
must be willing to look deeper -- we must be willing to look our culture
in the mirror and ask some hard questions about what kind of society our
children are growing up in.
"As a former police officer who spent time working inside the prison
system, I am saddened but not surprised at some of the abuse I've seen
in these photos. But what is surprising and what should shock our
nation's conscience is that these U.S. soldiers took photos and
home-made pornography of the abuse as 'trophies' for their actions.
"As Chuck Colson pointed out at FRC's inaugural Pastors' Briefing
yesterday, when you mix young people who grew up on a steady diet of MTV
and pornography with a prison environment, you get the abuse at Abu
Ghraib.
"America is in a perilous situation. In the eyes of these Muslims we are
the enemy because we are Christian, but in many areas of our culture,
our conduct as a nation is anything but Christian." SOURCE Family
Research Council

So correlation DOES equal causation? Damn, I'm so glad they carefully
research this stuff, them being the Family Research Council and all. They
must be fucking rocket scientists.
Yeah, real scientific.

That's not even correlation. Scandiavian prison wardens also grow up on a
steady diet of MTV and porn How many human pyramuds do you see Swedish
prisoners pull off?

I think it's more likely that they're fucking each other. :-)
Yeah, real scientific.
Somethings never change. I remember back in the '50s the preachers were
blaming juvenile delinquency and all sorts of other bad things on that
new form of satanic music called 'Rock and Roll'.
