Ouch.

[CzarNicky]

Oh no a dog is barking at them. These guys are bigger wimps than I thought.

Am I mistaken, or wouldn't terrorist be a more apt word to use than detainee or prisoner?

Am I mistaken, or wouldn't terrorist be a more apt word to use than detainee or prisoner?

Or maybe a prisoner who does not want to admit that he is a terrorist.

Iraq Prisons Chief Says Abu Ghraib To Remain Open

The head of U.S.-run prisons in Iraq says the military will continue operating the Baghdad prison where abuse of detainees by American soldiers recently became public.

Major General Geoffrey Miller said Saturday there are no immediate plans to shut down Abu Ghraib prison, despite calls by some politicians in the United States to destroy the facility.

General Miller said American soldiers will, in the future, prevent all abuses and protect the rights of detainees at American-run prisons.

His remarks came as one of the the soldiers accused of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib told the Washington Post newspaper about the practices for which she and five other soldiers now face charges.

In excerpts of an e-mail to the Post, appearing in Saturday's edition of the newspaper, Specialist Sabrina Harman said her unit was assigned, in her words, to "keep [detainees] awake, make it hell so they would talk."

In his weekly radio address, Saturday, President Bush said only a small number of U.S. soldiers took part in the abuse and that those who did will be punished.

In the Democratic radio response to Mr. Bush, retired General Wesley Clark said the United States must make amends, in part by dismantling Abu Ghraib.

On Friday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said it had concerns about the treatment of detainees at coalition prisons in Iraq, including Abu Ghraib, as early as last year. The group said it repeatedly made these concerns known to coalition forces.

The Dems will capitalize on this to the very last drop of G.I. blood > > if they can get away with it.

ABC, CBS, CNN, PBS, NPR, PBS, and NBC will be delighted to assist . .

Terrified Terrorist perhaps?

[ErnBatavia]

Some people tend to forget why these "inmates" are there in the first place; they probably blew the heads off a few American troops with their roadside bombs.

They should remain cowering and terrified.

[Lucky2]

I wonder if after the dog nipped at his heels he may have spilled the beans on a couple of his fellow terriorists? This is becoming stupid, it's an attempt by the left-wing hate mongers to make us look weak and George Bush weaker. Maybe hillary's October surprise is coming early? God bless America, God bless George W. Bush.

These photos are more damaging to our war effort than any road-side bomb. I'm so disgusted by this, and the Dems reaction, that I could spit.

[BunnySlippers]

It's an election year. It gives EVERYONE in the world the "right" to rag on George Bush until the election. I just pray that we can withstand this.

[Indie]

Notice the leftist press headline says "while being ATTACKED by a dog".....what a crock. Dog never touched them. I was hazed worse than this in college fraternity.
I am so sick of this propaganda. The POS who took pictures and circulated them is the only one who needs to be kicked out of the service and shot.

[AngieGOP]

It doesn't make a diffrence whether the "abuse" of the detainees was justified or not, this has turned into a P.R. nightmare for G.W. Bush and makes the jobs of the troops out there even more difficult. Shame on them for giving the Dems and John Kerry ammunition to use against George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and company.

[dys4iK]

Being from Canada, I can't say how disturbed I am at the number of people who react to the torture of prisoners by saying "Oh, gee, I hope they don't use this as ammunition against our wonderful leader."

Holy... that's just disturbing. Seriously disturbing. It frightens me to know people can be that callous and disregard basic human rights in such a way, in a nation right beside mine and that I have so many friends in.

[max_rpf]

Some of this 'Torture' are valid interrogation tactics.. I fear that in all of this overreaction we may have lost several valid tools in the WOT. I love how every time the libs win so do the terrorists.

[AngieGOP]

Did you speak out when civillian contractors were murdered, their bodies desecrated, burned and hung from a bridge while people danced? I guess not.

[Happy2BMe]

You're buying into the Dem profile of Bush . . exactly what they want.
