BFD. "There's a war on!"
Go Navy!
VERY good. I agree.
no more people are sent to Gitmo - they get ACLU lawyers there.
I'm no fan of LBJ but if one of the news services had released
this kind of information on his watch, heads would have rolled.
In all due respect, we don't know that it was counterproductive (only the men and women in U.S. Intel know that). And, when it comes to what others think of our torture...I don't remember a whole lot of Muslims crying over the beheading of innocent non-muslim civilians.
Iraqi's angry about panties and the shame of nakedness...frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn.
I think it is criminal to sentence Lyndie England to 11 years for her work at Abu Ghraib.
We are facing the most inhumane enemy in the history of the world (in fact, they have been this inhumane since they enter the history of the world).
Pick up a rifle and join the National Guard, but don't cry to me about our insensitivity to this demonic enemy. The Judeo/Christian west isn't perfect...but we are infinitely more humane than Islamic culture.
Panties and dog leashes, indeed. Nazi Germany would write hilarious comedies about this stupidity on our part.
I agree, this is probably just rough questioning at best. and keeping them in stressful circumstances.
Every piece of information and intel retrieved, pulled or teased from a prisoner of war saves the lives of the enemy as well our side. Go easy on the enemy (they surely will not go easy on us) and this war continues and more damage is done to humans and civilization.
You need to do some research and make some heartfelt decisions about how war is fought.
Islam (Salafi, Wahhabi, devout...etc.) has declared war on the non-Islamic world. They want to rape our women and children, to behead our men of war...and to subjegate, convert, or murder all other civilians.
Our enemy moves slowly and under the radar in many ways...but they will kill you or your children or grandchildren.
Is that the legacy you want to leave?
LBJ was a buffoon.
He carried a sheath of uncovered TS codeword documents in the open for all the prestitutes to photograph.
Cost thousand of man hours to change everything world wide and probably several million $$.
He didn't order his own head to be rolled.
He was a buffoon for sure.
I just meant that he had most of the news organization 'bigs' in his back pocket.
Actually this is an old story, these people where wanted in Saudi Arabia which don’t treat their prisoners very well. They left the important point out that they where Saudi prisoners not ours.
Which commieRAT doesn't? The MSM is after all just the media branch of the commieRAT party.
Buffoon that he was, he wasn't the worst commieRAT President of the last century.
He's number 3 after Slick and Jimmy.
I've listened to enough of the LBJ tapes to believe he held more sway over more news execs and columnists than the other two did. He added new meaning to the term "button holing."
We have not only the right but the duty to use any and all means, as they would use against us to defeat them.
There you go. Good work!

megatherium:"But Abu Ghraib made a lot of Iraqis angry, and it was counterproductive.
Hmmmm, what doesn't make mooslimbs angry?
Lacking any real gripes, they'll happily manufacture their own excuses or instigate a conflict and then whine about victimhood when they invariably get their a$$es handed back to them on a platter anyway.
As for Abu Ghraib - if I were Daniel Pearl, Ken Bigley, Nick Berg, Paul Johnson, any of the captured and Thai or Russian police or military, any of the 1000's of Christians decapitated by in Nigeria or Philippines or a victim of Islamic barbarity in Dafur, Indonesia, or elsewhere - I'd happily appreciate the choice of having panties on my head or my head removed by Koranimals chanting "Allah Akbar!" over and over again while the blood gurgles in whats left of my throat.
You just can't make some folks happy can you, no matter how hard you try, geeze, if I were a terrorist and a muslim (funny how they go so well together) nothing would please me more than to be sent to another muslim country where the culture, the language and the food is familiar and where I don't have to talk, touch or even look at a single filthy kuffar...but I'm not a muslim and neither am I a dangerous Left wing idiot enemy of America like Satterthwaite. I've just had a brilliant idea. Send all the Gitmo trash back to their sandboxes, let their own governments deal with them (hello, Amnesty International?) and use the facility in Cuba for the REAL enemies of the US; the rabid, frothing at the mouth lying scum who enjoy the best the US has to offer whilst doing their best to destroy it.
PS. Accusations of torture are par for the course - OSB wrote that into his instruction book. Maybe we should send this demented woman a copy? Here's the link:

Good to hear from you both.
I really wonder if the prisoners at Gitmo are really upset by lap dances with female guards...after all, Gitmo is in Dar Al-Harb, not Dar Al-Islam. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the rules of conduct different in Dar Al-Harb? Aren't lap dances, OK?
