WikiLeaks Iraq War Logs Are Out. Nothing New! Now What? (American government knew about torture)
Treasure of Baghdad ^ | 10.23.2010 | Bassam Sebti

The U.S. government apparently knew all about the killings of innocent Iraqis, Iran’s training of Shiite militias and Iraqi security forces’ abuse and rape of teenagers in prisons. Nevertheless, they decided not to take actions, not to intervene!

So what will the United States do in response to the that? Apologize to Iraqis? I don’t think so. Even if they do, will this bring back the lives of the thousands of civilians killed in the war? It won’t. Will it make Iraq safer? It won’t either. Will it change the current miserable political situation there? Not at all.

As an Iraqi, I don’t need an apology. I need justice. I need to see those who committed crimes against my fellow Iraqis get what they deserve. As for the Iraqi torturers, I don’t see them being brought to justice anytime soon, simply because they are under the same sectarian government that let this happen under their watch. We need a new government. We need new people to run the country and make this happen. Iraqis made their choice in last March elections, but the sectarian powers are refusing to give it to the moderates who were elected. Until this happens, I don’t think justice will ever be achieved in Iraq.

Iraq is a place where you wonder if justice and human rights will ever prevail. Of course, you can say that for most of the Muslim world.

The amusing thing is a bunch of geeky guys are pretending that they are serving the world and providing “justice”. These are the same guys who don’t believe in copyright protection, and anarchism tends always be in their top ten priorities. The leadership and top fifty players of WikiLeaks...strangely enough...all live in free societies with the biggest worry being bandwidth. Our heroes in 2010?

Screw Irag. The goal was to take WMD out of crazy Hussein’s hands.

Mission accomplished!

Let’s recap: Wikileaks’ members are total nerds, don’t believe in copyright protection, and tend to live in first-world nations. Thanks for the timely analysis of this situation.

Someone needs to raid the offices of Wiki and see just how many ILLEGAL software packages they have loaded on their computers.

I'm sure they are "by the book" compliant.
