For you late-comers, the U.S. military has been hounded with allegations of mistreatment and torture of its captives. This ABC News EXCLUSIVE has EVERYTHING stirred into a single story...including the use of lions (as in LIONS)...and is a useful tool to get you back up to speed.

Hi. We're from the ACLU and we're here to help you.

Two former Iraqi detainees tell ABC News in an exclusive interview that they were repeatedly tortured by U.S. forces seeking information about Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction.

Taking into account that they want our land scorched and burnt, and all of us dead or whimpering like liberal panty-wastes, I don't care.

File this under "Too Effin' Bad"

Ya had to know this was coming when they found a poll last week that said 55% support the use of torture.

That was one poll that slipped past them in their week of poll driven storylines.

Why? They are simply following their marching orders.

ACLU needs to be banned as an anti-American , seditious,
enemy enabling organization. Not in a time of war , you morons.
If the Gov will not do anything about them , the people should.

Wholesome pro U.S. News is about as scarce as a balanced budget these days. Even FoxNews blew out a global worming presentation last nigh. (Have to admit I didn't watch it though.)

This type of story makes me so mad I could spit nails. Once again, the ACLU and their ilk prove that embarrassing George Bush is more important to them than national security and the safety of our troops on the ground.

I swear I wouldn't piss on an ACLU lawyer if he were on fire.

It seems more and more like our media works with our enemies toward the destruction of America. Will they ever stop?

I see the liberal swine at ABC are doing their best to advance enemy propaganda.

Oh, yes. I saw this coming too. They have to quickly educate the American people. We will be seeing the Abu Ghrabib pics again and again, again.

Notice the MSM/Euro drive against rendition. I swear that they want us to have no tools to deal with the terrorists.

ABC ought to be ashamed.

Given:
a. The Legacy Media's war against Bush
b. The Democrat disloyal opposition
c. The leftist moonbats ware against the Wot
d. McCain's personal crusade
e. The existence of the ACLU

What were the odds of at least one detainee making
false claims?

I'm sorry, you answered with a number over 100%.
That's incorrect, and has been adjusted down to 100%.

Which is not to say that these dudes are lying, but
skepticism needs to abound here.

Furthermore, the Legacy Media is deliberately ignoring
the matter of policy vs. rogue individuals. They want
to paint a policy picture.

I would assume they have witnesses? Someone to testify on their behalf? By the way isnt the ACLU the AMERICAN civil liberties Union? What are they doing trying cases that happened in Iraq or anywhere else for that matter/

What we have to do is stop using our tax dollars to pay ACLU lawyers.

"I wouldn't piss on an ACLU lawyer if he were on fire."

Thanks for my new tagline. Cheers to you!

Cripes!

The first thing the jihadis learn is that when captured immediately start the torture accusations.

ABC knows this. Shame on them!

A responsible news editor would have at the very least included a paragraph stating such, or kill the story wholesale.
