In this photograph, made available by the U.S. Marines an Iraqi man sits on the floor with
welts and lacerations across his back and arms from being tortured with electricity
while held captive, according to the Marines. The man, along with three others, were
discovered by Iraqi Security Forces and Marines from 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine
Regiment inside what the Marines say was an insurgent torture chamber in the city
of Karabilah, Iraq during Operation Spear. (AP Photo/USMC Cpl Neill A. Sevelius)

Despite the physical proof of abuse, there won’t be any sobbing news stories, NY Times editorials, or speeches by screeching leftist senators over this poor man’s ordeal.

He was tortured by Michael Moore’s minutemen not Durbin's storm troopers.

Paging Dick Durbin, paging Ted Kennedy.

Hello?

Hello?

Is this thing on?

[Red Badger]

I wnder what this poor young man thinks about Gitmo?........

[Ramonan]

TO Turban Durbin:
THIS is torture.

[No Blue States]

Comape to naked pyramids and panties on heads.

[curtish]

At least they didn't put panties on his head. I bet the Marines, at this moment, are torturing him with medical treatment for his wounds. What animals!

[hophead]

It could be alot worse. At least he was not forced to sit on the floor of an air conditioned cell with his feet and hands chained while being forced to listen to Christine Agulerra.

That ain't nothin'.

Imagine panties on your head, while your cell mate tears pages out of the Koran to stop up the toilet.

(shudder)

Nor did they play with the knobs on the air conditioner thermostat reminiscent of Pol Pot.

He was tortured by Michael Moore’s minutemen ...

In my opinion, the above can not be said often or loud enough.

[DoctorMichael]

Since, as a Middle Eastern editorialist said, "Zarqawi and the insurgents are actually under the employ of the CIA and America. THAT is why their targetting Iraq's Muslim population", let me be the first to say................

ITS BUSH'S FAULT!

[InfraRed]

Gotta love the headline. At first glance, it appears that the Marines might have grudgingly released a photo of their own handywork. Oh how I hate the media.

At least this poor fella didn't suffer from panties on the head.

[kidd]

... there won’t be any sobbing news stories...

Don't be so hasty.

I think I see a red mark on the back of his head...

something like that

MADE BY THE ELASTIC WAISTBAND OF A PAIR OF WOMEN'S PANTIES!!!

[Moose4]

Don't you know? Putting something on those wounds to disinfect them would be torture. It'd hurt like hell!

What gets me madder than anything about Dick Turban isn't really that he said what he said. It's that he's going to get away with it. They won't censure him, he won't resign, this'll all go down the memory hole in a couple of days. We'll still be voices in the wilderness screaming about it, but nobody will hear.

Once...just ONCE...I want to see one of these leftist scumbags pay a real cost for what they say. I want to see Dick Turban lose his job. I want to see Michael Moore lose his career. I want to see Janeane Garofolo working at Wal-Mart. I want to see these anti-American so-and-sos really feel the consequences for their seditious actions. Until that happens, they'll keep spewing their venom.

Yeah, but at least he didn't have the A/C turned up too high.

[kabar]

Bad headline. Should say, "Marines liberate Iraqi prisoner tortured by insurgents"

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So he's not from Gitmo? /sarcasm

[Conspiracy Guy]

Looks like a tragic back waxing accident. Always go to a waxing professional.

I assume Amnesty International has more pressing matters to comment on...
