WASHINGTON D.C. - Yesterday the American Enterprise Institute showed a brief video on the torture abuses in the Iraqi prison system under Saddam Hussein. The video was roughly 4 minutes in length.

Reports are confirming that minimal press turned out for the viewing. What it contained was enough to sicken many of those who did attend. The tape showed fingers being cut off of prisoners hands, tongues being lopped out of people's mouths with razor blades and prisoners being fed alive to Saddam's doberman pinchers as well as decapitation.

The Saddam Thugs in the video chant the former dictator's name over, and sing his praises.

*Retired US Navy gulf war I* and my son (19) is heading to Baghdad for ground security force (Air Force)in August

Prayers for your fine son that things will be quieted down by August. Thanks to you and him for your service to our country.

Turn the portions into still photos & get some of our congresscritters to introduce them into hearings, one minute speeches &/or debates on the floor.

You mean, real torture...

Is this going to be Paul Johnson?

[AmericanChef]

Minimal press, eh? Gee...

[PISANO]

All this article does in inflame my HATRED for the press/media more than I ever thought possible.

Lord help me to NOT HATE!!!

Most of the Abu Goreb prison pictures looked like a San Fagcisco bath house on Saturday night? These pictures will NEVER see the light from The Ministry of disInformation!

Pray for W and Our Honorable Troops

Someone should mislabel a few of those tapes as "Recent American torture at Abu Graib". Then send a few off to CNN International or CBS....

That would have been brilliant. It's always amusing when Sean Hannity reads to lefty guests about what the President said about the necessity of getting Saddam before he used his WMD's, and hearing the guest spout off on how disingenuous or dishonest George W. Bush is...and then Sean breaks the news to them that the President that he was quoting was Clinton.

Put it on the internet and then send e-mails about it and post it on blogs. People will look at it -- just as they did Nick Bergs beheading.

That's actually the most useful thing I've heard about this yet. When everyone on the planet has seen it but the media, they'll have to take their head out of their rear-end long enough to say something.

"Or we could detain Dan Rather and put panties on his head..."

I'm not so sure he doesn't already wear panties on his head.

[spectre]

Without a doubt.

Unless he is rescued...sigh.

I must have missed the deadline about Friday. Do you have any links?

[spectre]

FOX news has been reporting ALL day long, that if their demands are not met within 72 hours, he will be killed.

That is Friday, they said.

So do you think they are going to let him live past the deadline? I don't want to be right about this, you do understand?
