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

[faithincowboys]

No, that's interesting.

Go to Drudge--I hope his top headline is innaccurate. I really, really do!

[cajungirl]

I read that an Iraqi guard had raped female prisoners. We have been forewarned, probably this will come out.

[goodnesswins]

It (the headline) may NOT be inaccurate, but it may be misleading.....WHO were the "guards?"

[Spunky]

From Drudge: Also a videotape, apparently shot by U.S. personnel, showing guards raping young boys........

Looks like our Don't Ask Don't Tell policy has raised it's ugly head.

[txradioguy]

Well I dunno...where I was in Baghdad there was so much coupling going on I'm surprised more people didn't get pregnant.

I've never seen so many "single" married men and women either! LOL!

[RummyChick]

Do you think these were hidden cameras ? I can't imagine a soldier being so stupid as to rape a young boy while knowing a camera is on him/

[txradioguy]

"How can she say that with a straight face?"

As craggy as that mug is she can't do anything but say things with a straight face.

[faithincowboys]

I just hope this didn't happen. I just pray this isn't the case. Oh, boy, do I pray!!

[txradioguy]

Let's not forget too that she was running around behind the scenes at the U.N. trying to get the Security Council trying to get them to ease the sanctions on Iraq back around '96.

[faithincowboys]

Oh, please, Let them be Iraqis. Who in the Hell was filming themselves doing that?

Was there people in there filming and photographing these things to get them out in the public domain? Is the enemy within in the military? This makes no sense. This is incomprehensible!!

[txradioguy]

I did. The time I went to the prison we weren't allowed to go down that wing of the prison.

[Pukin Dog]

Can someone tell me the general sentiment in the US regarding Rummy today? I don't have time to read back over the thread. How did he do, how well does the country at large think he did?

My guess is that he did well, but this is my first chance to log on today.

[txradioguy]

Poll conducted today says 70% of those polled say Rummy should STAY in office and not resign.

[Spunky]

"I can't imagine a soldier being so stupid as to rape a young boy while knowing a camera is on him/"

Maybe they never intended for it to get out now but filmed it for their own pleasure after the war.

There are so many perverts out there you just don't know where they might be.

[Pukin Dog]

Good to know. Never doubted Rummy, just curious. Does anyone know of a TiVo that records via phone commands?

[katz]

I am just cutting into this thread after listing and digesting the Savage Nation radio show. He, Savage, thinks that Drudge has been honeymooned by the Left and his posts show the infiltration of the Left by Drudge. I just left the Drudge site and it is filled with anti-american propaganda.

[Pukin Dog]

Do your brain a favor and stop listening to Savage. He is a nutcase. He does our side no favors. Drudge reports news, regardless of who it hurts.

[katz]

Savage doesn't seem like a nut case to me. For talk radio he gives me balance from Rush and Sean. I listen and see if any of the trio are on target. Savage often reverses his previous rants but is not a total nut case.

[abner]

We need a transcript of Hillary's remarks and Rummy's answers to her. Her saying that the report was widely known was a big mistake.

If the media doesn't pick up on this, we have to!
Miss Hillary NEEDS to clarify her remarks.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Hold on a minute I've got it, both the long and short version.....just have to dig it out of "my comments"......
