First, please read Senator Inhofe's statement on the floor of the Senate:

---

First of all, I regret I wasn't here on Friday. I was unable to be here but maybe it's better that I wasn't because as I watch this outrage -- this outrage everyone seems to have about the treatment of these prisoners -- I have to say, and I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment.

The idea that these prisoners -- you know, they're not there for traffic violations. If they're in cell block 1A or 1B, these prisoners -- they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands. And here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals.

And I hasten to say, yes, there are seven bad guys and gals that didn't do what they should have done. They were misguided. I think maybe even perverted. And the things they did have to be punished, and they're being punished. They're being tried right now and that's all taking place.

But I'm also outraged by the press and the politicians and the political agendas that are being served by this, and I say political agendas because that's actually what is happening.

I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons

When he was in charge, they would take electric drills and drill holes through hands, they would cut their tongues out, they would cut their ears off. We've seen accounts of lowering their bodies into vats of acid. All of these things were taking place.

This was the type of treatment that they had -- and I would want everyone to get this and read it. This is a documentary of the Iraq special report. It talks about the unspeakable acts of mass murder, unspeakable acts of torture, unspeakable acts of mutilation, the murdering of kids -- lining up 312 little kids under 12 years old and executing them.

Then, of course, what they do to Americans, too.....

We just saw what they do with Americans. They sawed off Nick Berg's head while chanting God is great. Just like they slashed the throat of Danny Pearl, and burned and mutilated the four in Fallujah, and flew those planes into the Pentagon and Twin Towers on 9/11.

I'm outraged that the Europeans and the left in this country don't understand the consequences of this War. I'm outraged that Teddy Kennedy compares our troops to Saddam Hussein. I'm outraged that Senators Levin and Dayton use the depravity of some bad apples to suggest "systemic" and "pervasive" abuse in our military, tarring the over 300,000 young men and women who have fought honorably for us in Iraq.

[jmstein7]

[Bahbah]

[DollyCali]

[Americanwolf]

Atta boy given to the good senator for Oklahoma. And an atta boy to all out here for taking part in YOUR government. Thank God there are some real statesmen in washington.

[DollyCali]

I called him too.... the intern/secy was very appreciative

[dansangel]

I just sent this to Senator Inhofe:

Dear Senator Inhofe,

I wanted to send you my sincere thanks for having the courage and conviction to "tell it like it is" regarding the Iraqi prison abuse.

This is one American citizen that is sick and tired of apologizing for breathing the same air as the "poor, oppressed Muslim fanatics." I am "over" the press and left-wing radicals telling me that we have no right to be in Iraq, should never have been there and that everything that happens to our brave men and women over there is "on the Administration's head."

Again, thank you for being the "mouthpiece" for countless conservative Americans that feel the same way that you do, but are not in the public arena such as you are and whose words are not as widely heard.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX

[MeekOneGOP]

Great letter ! :^)

[marway]

Well done to Sen. Inhofe from a very proud Okie. I've e-mailed him and encouraged him to take a similar stand and be outraged over the recent comments of Fat Teddy. If one senator shows a bit of gravitas, then maybe more will follow.

[DollyCali]

The helpless prisoners would be dead now if they weren't of "information" value. That is war. I think there will be less prisoners in the future.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thank Senator Inhofe for his courage!

We need more Republicans like him. Thanks for posting this.

[Brian Allen]

G-d bless Senator Inhofe.

And G-d bless you, too, jm, for calling for a round of our appreciation for one of the very very very few Intact American Men among the emasculated, feminized, homosexualized and Euro-peon-ized self-perpetuating freak show AKA "Congress."
