Patriot Paradox

[DannyTN]

"He’s a corrections officer at a Virginia prison, whose warden described Frederick to us as “one of the best.”

Makes you wonder what goes on in our own prisons.

[pawdoggie]

The obvious lesson here, a lesson that our civilian and military leadership need to emphasize to Americans and foreigners alike, is that in Saddam's Army this kind of behavior (and far worse) would get you promoted. In our Army, it gets you court-martialed.

[PsyOp]

Idiots!

[White Eagle]

What I don't understand is how 5 soldiers and 2 NCO's had time to do all this, while guarding 900 prisoners. And no commissioned officers involved, although the story leads with an unnamed General.

Perhaps somebody with practical experience in this could explain it.

[Objective Reality]

If we're going to prosecute this (and we should), can we PLEASE finally HANG that treasonous son-of-a-bitch who tossed a grenade into his CO's tent and opened fire on the survivors with his M-16 as they fled?

And, for the first time, 60 Minutes II will show some of the pictures that led to the Army investigation. According to the U.S. Army, one Iraqi prisoner was told to stand on a box with his head covered, wires attached to his hands. He was told that if he fell off the box, he would be electrocuted.

This coming from a news outlet that refused to show the horrors of 9/11, however they expound the want to impress upon us the mistreatment of our foe who are prisoners of war.

Well, CBS has convinced me of their patriotism and unbiased reporting as a corporation. NOT!

OK, I just saw the photos of what transpired at that prison and am absolutely disgusted! There is no excuse for this! For a moment I thought I'd been rerouted to the wrong site; that some new computer virus had sent me to twistedS&Mhomoeroticbondagefantasies.com, only to discover that this sick display of depravity was actually done (and idiotically beyond all comprehension, photographed) by animals unfit to call themselves American soldiers.

How can they possibly claim that they didn't know this was wrong? What kind of person needs a rulebook to explain to them that this is entirely unacceptable? Do they have any idea how much this could harm the war effort? How many of our soldiers could end up dying because of what they did? Do they realize how much ammo they've just handed the Leftists who are literally salivating for any opportunity to return to their Vietnam "glory days" of spitting on American soldiers? How much ammo they've just handed the venom spewing mullahs who keep calling for the destruction of the "decadent" West?

I am equally shocked by some of the posts I've read here. How can anyone excuse such blatantly perverse behavior? You know, I could understand it if our soldiers had roughed these prisoners up a bit, threatened them/ hit them. But, this? Turning a prison into a gay S&M nudist camp??? This is something I don't understand. I don't understand it at all.

1) 7 soldiers to 900 prisoners is ridiculous and yes, they should have more.

2) The article states the soldiers had to break the uncooperative prisoners - um, they looked pretty cooperative in the pictures.

3) Each one should be court martialed and held to the highest standards. If the roles were reversed with our people made to make nude pyramids there would not be one on these boards that would have laughed it off as army high jinks. There is no excuse for this behavior.
