NEW IRAQ PRISON SHOCK: MALE DETAINEES FORCED TO WEAR WOMEN'S 'MAXI-PADS'
I saw it..Sy, the little commie, reminded me of Rita Cosby with his "sources"..
Whew! That's a load off my mind. I was beginning to think these people were just a bunch of sickos. Whatta mess. Good thing there's a good solid reason for all this b/s.
No one is saying it was "right". There are 2 scenarios here. If this was just a bunch of sick freaks getting their rocks off with a bit of S/M porn they need to be prosecuted and punished. If it WAS an interrogation to get immediate battlefield intelligence then they should get medals. My money is on them being a bunch of sick freaks and so far, the only one that has been under oath has verified that they were just sick freaks.
I wonder if the next surprise will involve the forced use of "Summer's Eve" as a salad dressing.
I am not trying to "convince" you. Just giving the FULL context of the Drudge piece. Believe what you want.
Wonder if Maxi pads are mentioned in the Geneva Convention?
Pfc. Lynndie England, the Army soldier seen laughing, smoking and flashing the thumbs-up in front of naked male Iraqis in photographs, has told investigators: Guards forced detainees to crawl on their hands and knees on broken glass and forced male detainees to wear women's 'maxi pads'... Guards also applied needle and thread to prisoners after beating them.... 'Would personally stitch up detainees if the wound weren't too bad' and take pictures of the work. One particular incident, a guard ran a former Iraqi general into a wall and split his lip. The guard than stitched up his lip'... MORE
LOL, I totally agree Jim. Make me feel better too!
Nor did I say you were trying to convince me....
"ALL without yours nor the anti-American media whores help. "
I was posting the FULL drudge piece. don't group me with the media. Thanks though pal.
I had to wear half of one 24/7 while I waited for a gunshot wound to stop bleeding/oozing/attracting flies. Worked pretty good, but honestly I didn't find myself jumping on trampolines, dancing, or horseback riding any more than I had before. I think the commercials are exaggerations.
I suspect not, I wonder if using panties as blindfolds is prohibited as well.
I understand the women soldiers can't get them in adequate numbers. So that may be where they are being used.
That was very, very funny!
There's a good chance the prisoners have no clue what they are wearing. I don't think they get that involved in their women's personal habits and I doubt if personal hygeine products are real abundandant on the shelves of Iraqi supermarkets, drug stores and local 7/11's.
This post, and the threads that follow are going to go down as one of the funniest in FR history.
Ya, I'm beginning to think he knows it's absurd; it looks so surreal on his website, I HOPE he knows it's absurd...
What's more, thousand of female Iraqis are being forced to wear maxi-pads as well! The horror, the HORROR!!!
What do you think all these photos were all about. Come on Tex.
Well, let's look at the facts.
These videos and photos were not being taken by CIA operatives with CIA cameras and the resulting images were not being kept under the tightest security and shown only to other intelligence operatives with the proper security clearances and with a "need to know".
These videos and photos were being taken with the private digital cameras of junior enlisted personnel, mixed in with videos and photos of "Lynndie England Gang Bangs the 372nd Military Police Company", and burned to CD-R disks so that the CD-R's could be traded around like baseball cards and the videos and photos could be sent to civilian friends and family back in the U.S. so they could be leaked to the media and end up on the Internet from Poughkeepsie to Pakistan.
It seems that these photos were all about junior enlisted idiots behaving idiotically and using using digital cameras and CD burners to produce their own porno photos and videos.
