Rumsfeld Warns Worse Images of Prison Abuse to Come

This may be some type of inoculation.

[federal]

What is it that you'd expect the media to do?

Since this was already under investigation with charges already filled, since the military had already told the public of this abuse. Why not let the military courts and investigation run it's course? why not honor the LAWS of the USA and not release evidence in criminal proceedings.

this is a politically motivated trick, because in reality the release of these photos will help the defense lawyers in this case and it endangers the rest of the troops stationed in the middle east. They have served no other purpose than to smear the entire military and the mission to give the Iraqi's and the middle east a reason to have pride in there country. There is no greater good here, just a plot to smear the mission, the military and President Bush.

If Rumsfeld's comments turn out to be regarding these rumors, do you condone this behavior?

[bonfire]

I think we should send ALL our perverts to Iraq. We finally got their attention.

Since then, only 1 in a suicide bombing in Baghdad and Al Sadar's people are getting creamed. American lives have been saved because of these photos and you should be happy about it.

Put a real man in charge instead of some of these 'colateral damage is bad' RINO's and I guarantee the killing will drop to 0 American deaths.

[bonfire]

Bingo.

What are the variables you are talking about? Please tell us. What happened to make the attacks on Americans stop so suddenly? I'm all ears.

I'd like some help with an issue.

The German website 'Spiegel" published a series of photos with the images of the leash, pile of bodies, etc., and, with them, also, one of two hooded men engaged in apparent oral sex before other prisoners, although I can't really determine if the oral sex is real or simulated.

I would really like to know if the same picture has been published by the US media. I've linked the picture on a couple of other threads, but haven't gotten any replies about it.

The link is here: warning it's pretty digusting and pornographic

"Spiegel-Online".... The Iraquis were forced to to do sexual acts

Thanks for any input. I'm not trying to take sides on the issue, I just like to compare the media coverage between Germany and the US in order to better interpret what's being written.

Let me tell you what I don't condone; a bunch of islamic pigs killing a pregnant jew and her 3-4 daughters. Whatever they get in return...f'em. Give it to them a hundred fold.

[NittanyLion]

"End justifies the means" is an attitude generally held by liberals. How sad to see it advocated on a conservative site...

[Ditter]

Forgive me for not reading this column. I would rather talk about Andrea's recent face lift. Actually all I could see that was different was the corners of her mouth had been pulled up. But rather than a smile she has been left with a surgicaly induced snear. We have always called her Angria Mitchell because of her angry look. Now we are at a loss as to what to call her. I guess we will call her ole' smirky.

The posters were probably provided to these untermenschen by the Kerry campaign.

[jimbo123]

Barney Frank has paid good money for the kind of treatment the Iraqis are receiving for free.

[kissmyconservativebutt]

What are the variables you are talking about? Please tell us. What happened to make the attacks on Americans stop so suddenly?

You and I know exactly what helped the situation. I hope plenty more comes out, because I don't give a damn what the arabs, the UN, france, or anybody else thinks of us.

[bonfire]

I'm not losing any sleep over this. No one I know is either. The press wants us to believe that everyone is OUTRAGED. No one with half a brain cares. War is hell.

[pdfw]

At least we know Andrea is still considered attractive by some older liberal on the Senate defense committee.

[bonfire]

You betcha.

I hope it is all real. Looking forward to the rest of it. Screw those pigs.

This photo of the "protest" outside the prison in Iraq from Aljazeera.

What are the variables you are talking about? Please tell us. What happened to make the attacks on Americans stop so suddenly? I'm all ears.

Could be anything. A lull in hostilities, American military activity that's prevented attacks, etc.

Surely you understand that there are a number of potential reasons for the decrease in activity, including natural variation, right?
