Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Forcing naked Iraqi prisoners to pile themselves in human pyramids was not torture, because American cheerleaders do it every year, a court was told today.

I wonder if we could get the Dallas Cowboy chearleaders to make a pyrmamid nude?

[ScottFromSpokane]

That's a dumb argument.

It isn't torture because it isn't torture. Humiliating and degrading prisoners may be wrong (it is certainly wrong when done merely for the entertainment of the jailers). It may be criminal (ditto). For the sake of argument let's even say that it's as bad as torture.

But it's still not torture. Torture is a different thing.

Panties on the head--people pay for this stuff.

Geez, where did he get this "intellect" of a lawyer?

[Anti-Bubba182]

I give it to Womack for chutzpah!

[wagglebee]

Where the hell are the pictures of the cheerleaders?!

[Roscoe Karns]

I wonder what little gems Ramsey Clark will come up with while defending Saddam? Will Jenny Booth write a sneering article about that? (rhetorical
question)

Ugliest damn cheerleader in history:

Abu ghraib was not torture. What Jack Bauer to the interrogation suspect on Sunday's "24" was far worse than anything even alleged against any Abu Ghraib defendent. throw them out of the service, sure, because they are perverts and are more suited to be key grips on the "Girls Gone Wild" set, but they shouldn't serve one day of prison time. Ridiculous.

[No Longer Free State]

What an idiot. Someone needs to tell this guy it doesn't pay to insult the intelligence of a military jury. Unles maybe he's TRYING for an incompetent counsel appeal...

[Kerfuffle]

OK, Graner's officially toast, if for no other reason than he drew an incredibly inept lawyer. (BTW, from what I've read, Graner was the real rotten egg in this scandal).

[swilhelm73]

So when he and his girlfriend were creating their own little pornographic movies in front of the inmates, let me guess, he was ordered to do that too right?

I bet Rummy himself sat down with Graner and England and ordered them to set up their own little version of the Playboy mansion...

The detainees have found themselves in a "Cheerocracy" (to quote a dumb current movie)....

[Mike Bates]

Did someone say cheerleader?

EXCELLENT ARGUMENT

What these soldiers did was not torture.

What they did, goes on colleges and universities.

I read this on the subway this morning. I laughed loud enough that they stared briefly.
