If ever have a gun pointed at you and know that your turn they pulled
the trigger. You would never question those men that put their
f***ing life on the line for freedom. Play it some time, roll the
dice 1 out 6 is not bad then you can BS. Think then put yourself in
their shoe if you have the courage "Take control and command" and
belief "Country, Honor and Duty". I doubt you put your life for
humanity "people in crosswalk" but for animals "dog" you will brake.

What we said before the war, in no particular order:
1. The invasion of Iraq will cause, not prevent, terrorism.
2. The Bush administration was not to be trusted when it warned of the
WMD threat.
3. Going in without the U.N. is worse than not going in at all.
4. They were asleep at the switch pre-9/11 and have been trying to
cover this up ever since.
5. And they manipulated 9/11 as a pretext for a long-planned invasion
of Iraq.
6. Any occupation by a foreign power, particularly one as
incompetently planned as this one, will likely create more enemies
than friends and put the U.S. in a situation similar at times to
Vietnam, and at other times, similar to Israel's occupation of
Lebanon; both were disasters.
7. An invasion of Iraq will draw resources and attention away from the
genuine perpetrators of the attack on us, and allow them to regroup
for further attacks.

Now we see who the real terrorists are. US and UK. I knew it all
along.

Be careful...glass houses and all that...remember the Canadian
Airborne "Peacekeepers" in Somalia and the torture/ murder of a Somali
teenager? The photos they took posing like trophy hunters with a
prized deer? Human nature being what it is, there will be bad apples
in every group. We dealt with ours (not severely enough, IMHO) and
the Americans and Brits will deal with theirs.

Not with all of them.
It is now clear that every civilian contractor working for the US is above
the US law and can do everything he wants, that he will not be punished by
the CPA.
Fallujah style punishment is the less that can be expected to those
criminal US civilian contractors who commit crimes like these.

These are disturbing photos but they could have been taken anywhere.
What proof do you have that these are Iraqi POWs or that the
perpetrators are American.

I have read that most of the 'real torture' is handled by the willilng

They are able to do what the army is not supposed to do and get paid

U. S. Army Admits that Sodomy and Beatings Are a Part of The
Liberation of Iraq
Caroline Drees, Reuters, May 1, 2004
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=578&e=1&u=/nm/20040501/ts_nm/iraq_prison_report_dc
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Iraqi prisoners faced numerous "sadistic,
blatant and wanton criminal abuses" by U.S. soldiers, including sodomy
and beatings, according to a U.S. Army report quoted by the New Yorker
magazine.
The New Yorker said it had obtained a 53-page, internal U.S. military
report into alleged abuses at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison outside
Baghdad. In an article posted on its Web site on Saturday, the
magazine said the report had been authorized by Lt. Gen. Ricardo
Sanchez, the top U.S. officer in Iraq (news - web sites), and was
completed in February.
The May 10 issue of the magazine goes on sale on Monday.
The army report listed abuses such as "breaking chemical lights and
pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees; ... beating detainees with
a broom handle and a chair; threatening male detainees with rape;
allowing a military police guard to stitch the wound of a detainee who
was injured after being slammed against the wall in his cell;
sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom
stick."
The report, written by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, said evidence to
support the allegations included "detailed witness statements and the
discovery of extremely graphic photographic evidence."
A senior Pentagon (news - web sites) official said he had seen no
allegations of rape or the use of chemicals against prisoners in Iraq,
but said abuse of prisoners was "despicable and inexcusable."
News of the military report comes days after photographs showing abuse
by U.S. troops of Iraqi prisoners were published and broadcast around
the globe.
The photos showed U.S. troops smiling, posing, laughing or giving the
thumbs-up sign as naked, male Iraqi prisoners were stacked in a
pyramid or positioned to simulate sex acts with one another.
President Bush (news - web sites) said on Friday he was deeply
disgusted by the abuse but said only a "few people" were to blame. He
defended the conduct of the U.S. occupation forces as the White House
scrambled to head off a backlash in Iraq and across the Arab world.
A British newspaper also published pictures showing British soldiers
apparently urinating on a shackled Iraqi prisoner of war. Prime
Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) said on Saturday that abuse of
Iraqi prisoners was "completely and totally unacceptable."
INVESTIGATIONS UNDER WAY
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman declined to comment on the
allegations in the New Yorker, but stressed that "we take all reports
of detainee abuse seriously and all allegations are thoroughly
investigated."
He said that when incidents of abuse first came to light earlier this
year, the army immediately ordered an investigation, and Sanchez
ordered a separate probe to make sure that such incidents were not
widespread throughout the military detention system in Iraq.
U.S. officials said on Thursday that the military is weighing
disciplinary action against the Army general who was in charge of the
Abu Ghraib prison, a center of torture and executions under toppled
President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s government.
The U.S. military now holds several thousand prisoners at Abu Ghraib,
most of them rounded up on suspicion of carrying out attacks against
U.S.-led forces.
The U.S. military announced on March 20 it had brought criminal
charges against six soldiers with the 800th Military Police Brigade,
which could lead to courts-martial. The charges, stemming from a probe
launched in January, relate to accusations of abuses carried out in
November and December 2003 on around 20 detainees at the prison.
The charges included indecent acts with another person, maltreatment,
battery, dereliction of duty and aggravated assault.

Thanks for the info. Our daily news doesn't happen for another couple
of hours yet and in my home the TV doesn't go on before then. I
haven't seen the news since Wednesday. However, I have looked up the
news reports on the net to confirm your report. After reading what has
happened I am disheartened by it and wish that it had never happened.
Let me say though, that there is no morality in war. There never has
been and there never will be. To get people to kill each other you
have to convince them of two things;
1. The side they are fighting on is the good side.
2. The other side are evil bastards who don't deserve to live.
When you have people who have been brainwashed into believing this
then they will also believe that the other side has no rights and
whatever is inflicted upon them is justice and by no means criminal.
These soldiers will be court martialled and their lives destroyed.
However, those that brainwashed them and sent them to war will live in
luxury and pay them no mind at all. Without mitigating what the
soldiers did to their prisoners should we not also prosecute those who
twisted their minds.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Iraqi prisoners faced numerous "sadistic,
blatant and wanton criminal abuses" by U.S. soldiers, including sodomy
and beatings, according to a U.S. Army report quoted by the New Yorker
magazine.
The New Yorker said it had obtained a 53-page, internal U.S. military
report into alleged abuses at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison outside
Baghdad. In an article posted on its Web site on Saturday, the
magazine said the report had been authorized by Lt. Gen. Ricardo
Sanchez, the top U.S. officer in Iraq (news - web sites), and was
completed in February.
The May 10 issue of the magazine goes on sale on Monday.
The army report listed abuses such as "breaking chemical lights and
pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees; ... beating detainees with
a broom handle and a chair; threatening male detainees with rape;
allowing a military police guard to stitch the wound of a detainee who
was injured after being slammed against the wall in his cell;
sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom
stick."
The report, written by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, said evidence to
support the allegations included "detailed witness statements and the
discovery of extremely graphic photographic evidence."
A senior Pentagon (news - web sites) official said he had seen no
allegations of rape or the use of chemicals against prisoners in Iraq,
but said abuse of prisoners was "despicable and inexcusable."
News of the military report comes days after photographs showing abuse
by U.S. troops of Iraqi prisoners were published and broadcast around
the globe.
The photos showed U.S. troops smiling, posing, laughing or giving the
thumbs-up sign as naked, male Iraqi prisoners were stacked in a
pyramid or positioned to simulate sex acts with one another.
President Bush (news - web sites) said on Friday he was deeply
disgusted by the abuse but said only a "few people" were to blame. He
defended the conduct of the U.S. occupation forces as the White House
scrambled to head off a backlash in Iraq and across the Arab world.
A British newspaper also published pictures showing British soldiers
apparently urinating on a shackled Iraqi prisoner of war. Prime
Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) said on Saturday that abuse of
Iraqi prisoners was "completely and totally unacceptable."
INVESTIGATIONS UNDER WAY
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman declined to comment on the
allegations in the New Yorker, but stressed that "we take all reports
of detainee abuse seriously and all allegations are thoroughly
investigated."
He said that when incidents of abuse first came to light earlier this
year, the army immediately ordered an investigation, and Sanchez
ordered a separate probe to make sure that such incidents were not
widespread throughout the military detention system in Iraq.
U.S. officials said on Thursday that the military is weighing
disciplinary action against the Army general who was in charge of the
Abu Ghraib prison, a center of torture and executions under toppled
President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s government.
The U.S. military now holds several thousand prisoners at Abu Ghraib,
most of them rounded up on suspicion of carrying out attacks against
U.S.-led forces.
The U.S. military announced on March 20 it had brought criminal
charges against six soldiers with the 800th Military Police Brigade,
which could lead to courts-martial. The charges, stemming from a probe
launched in January, relate to accusations of abuses carried out in
November and December 2003 on around 20 detainees at the prison.
The charges included indecent acts with another person, maltreatment,
battery, dereliction of duty and aggravated assault.

"What they will do is stagger along until there's a major incident
and then suddenly say, 'Oh my God, shouldn't we be organized to deal with this.'"

Administration, speaking at The McCormick Tribune Foundation Conference on Terrorism,
