I wonder if the same "FReepers" who defended Newsweak and said that the only blame should go to the rioters will come to this thread and say again that the only blame should go to the rioters.
Or maybe they were just defending their beloved Newsspeak.
---It sickens me that we, as a country, can't even conduct ourselves in a fashion of professionalism and class when dealing with peoples that we know very little about. The abuse of prisoners should not be tolerated, even though it currently is. ---
When I was in Korea a Korean Sergeant Major used to line up KATUSAs, reported to him for minor infractions and beat them with a rubber hose. When we found out about it we stopped reporting our KATUSAs to the Sergeant Major, but it would never have occurred to us to complain about his methods. He was acting within the normal parameters of a senior ROK Noncom.
These lefties that yowl on about our treatment of prisoners ought to spend some time attached to a front line ROK unit. It might calm their hysteria.
If you believe this, you are the biggest sucker in the world.
"Their region has been used and abused by our country for years, with little to no respect given to the people, their culture or their religion."
it IS easy to talk about a place one has never been, never lived in the local economy, never been close to, etc.
"But there has been a lingering question while contemplating the issue of abuse and illegal interrogation - what is it for? Maybe I am naive and alienated to the point that I don't quite understand the full depth for the reasons and for the harshness of America's interrogation practices in this war. But just as an average American citizen, I would like to know what are the results of these interrogations.'
Isn't this a future darwin candidicacy qualifier?
in retrospect, publishing student opinions isn't good posting practice.
It's hard to believe anyone this stupid and naive is allowed to write an article for publication in a major student newspaper. It's not only that this dope regurgitates all the leftist crapola fed him by his professors. It's also the fact that numbskulls like this student scribbler malign the very institutions that keep him free. Here's wishing that these leftist "geniuses" find their Marxist eden... by leaving the U.S.
