I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

"Is there more specifically we can do to undo this?

How about these so called leaders in Congress stand up and talk about our values and system of justice instead of running around and condemning this country.

[prairiebreeze]

Maybe it's cheaper in the long run and going to court with the American Trial Lawyers and ACLU about it. sigh.....


yuck

[MEG33]

NO!

[txradioguy]

Abu Ghraib is the only place in Baghdad large enough to hold the bad guys. If we level it there will be no place to keep the bad guys who want to kill us.

Or is that what the RATS want?

[Mo1]

Did General Myers say that?

No I said that .. Generals was explaining to the House that the rest of the world knows what our military is about and they stand by us

[Right_in_Virginia]

Close enough ;-)

[Diddle E. Squat]

I'm just waiting for one of these Reps to look up and say, "Well I do have some good news. I have just been informed that I saved a load of money on my car insurance."

There are worse photos still to come......will the media.....risk a major backlash and run them or fold up and go home.

They will run them for sure. Frankly, the public will expect it now that we know they exist.

[mass55th]

"Soooo, who leaked the photos??"

That's the question of the day. Somebody had a copy of them and sent them to CBS. Someone inside the military perhaps? But why would they have waited until April when photos were known to exist in January. Why were they leaked now? Timing was on the mind of whoever did this, and of course it was done to damage the President and his reelection bid, which leads me to believe that sombody supplied the Dems with the copies and the Dems got the discs to CBS.

[Barlowmaker]

Rumsfeld made it clear that it would be a decision left to the Iraqis after the June 30 handover. Most of the prison is being used to house "common" Iraqi criminals, not enemy combatants.

TIME TO THROW A LITTLE PARTY FOR SOME TRAITOROUS SENATOR AND CONGRESSMEN

[kcvl]

ROFLOL! They have the hair(wig)for it.

[Mo1]

LOL!!

[Darlin']

Lordy, you'd think they'd at least have the decency to be embarrassed by their own stupidity.

[ken5050]

Yes, but as I wrote earlier, the ONE benefit of these hearings are that those pics to come are already defused to a large extent..

[PISANO]

CNN......

It is beyond me why the FIRST Amendment protects the media from virtually EVERYTHING, no matter what HARM is done to an individual or an ENTIRE NATION, no matter if our NATION is at WAR or NOT. Something awfully wrong with that, IMHO.

[malia]

His words were great, his timing was great. As said before, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is the right man in the right place - any time!!!

[Cold Heat]

There was only 15-20 in that block.

They have a right to file suit, and you can bet that many suits will be filed on their behalf by every nutcase on the planet.

Pay them off, sign the release, and we might be protected from further damaging claims.IMO

[John Lenin]

Each day things get little crazier. This is NOT the same country I grew up in, I think the terorrists have won.

[Right_in_Virginia]

After watching this newest circus in both the Senate and the House...I think it's past time to clean up Congress.
