Taking a stand against torture

Senator John McCain, who was subjected to years of horrific treatment at the hands of the North Vietnamese in a prisoner of war camp, knows more than most people about prisoner abuse and torture. That's why the Arizona Republican's appeal for the United States to adhere to humane standards when it cares for prisoners in the war on terror was accepted by his Senate colleagues, who voted 90-9 for his bill to regulate how U.S. armed forces treat captured enemies. We hope President Bush will end his pointless resistance and back the measure. The vote represents one of the only times Congress has dared to challenge the White House during the prosecution of a "war against terror" that has consistently embarrassed the United States. That the White House would come out against Senator McCain's anti-torture bill is disappointing yet hardly surprising, and it has even threatened to veto the spending bill calling for $445 billion for defense that includes the McCain measure.

"STOP RAPING CHILDREN!! They are forced to do a lot more than just wear panties. Here is a link for those who think this is untrue. They are pictures of video-captures from the rape-video. I STRONGLY advise folks NOT to look, but if your skepticism overwhelms then consider yourself warned. It shows GRAPHIC pictures of the actual rape of an Iraqi woman and Iraqi boys. These pictures are already out world-wide. Let's not lie any more. " - SurroundedByLibs


Are you certain you want to link to Aztlan.net and claim that US servicemembers rape children?

[Slings and Arrows]

It's a troll - aztlan.net is a violent racist organization.

Reported.

If it the choice between pulling out some fingernails out and loosing a city, it is going to be a high performance manicure. Screw the law.

I agree.

[Darksheare]

Check out the genius in post 19.

aztlan.net???

[Paul_Denton]

IN before the Zot? Shall I give miss sniper here the order to take the shot?

[Modok]

Damn, I am tired as I can be of McCain and his liberal whining.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And considering some of the other stuff he spewed not a very smart one either.

Alright McCain, go on back in the bar.

If you don't want to look, and it's probably best not to, just read the captions below.

I did look. Those are woodland camo uniforms dumbass. Military in Iraq use desert camo.

[Paul_Denton]

Hehe just saw that. And its still a live one! Thanks :)

[Paul_Denton]

Was a live one anyway LOL.

[Slings and Arrows]

About damn time. I think the mod ate a burrito grande for supper, and was paying the price while this troll was performing the verbal equivalent.

[Darksheare]

Odd part: looking into teh trolls post history pre-zot showed the oddity of his post 19 in this thread NOT showing up in his history.

[Paul_Denton]

That is weird.

[Slings and Arrows]

Sure it wasn't just pushed off the screen? When I checked the troll was making a Kerryload of posts on a marijuana thread.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The funny thing is that we are all that stands between this druggie homosexual and the Islamist that would sew him in a bag and throw him off a cliff into the water to drown.

He could at least be a little grateful.

[Paul_Denton]

A marijuana thread huh. Well it is obvious what it has been smoking with it trolled this thread.

[Darksheare]

I checked.
His "soldiers rape children" comment was at 7:40 or so this morning.
His comments from 6:50 and 8:20 or so were showing.
The troll slime post should have been between them.
