Good afternoon! Got my smiley collection from probably 15 different websites, I just did a Yahoo search for animated smiley gifs and surfed the results for hours. Here is a link to some good ones: FreeSmileys.org

"I don't see how guards could stand the smell of human excrement. Why not at least make the prisoners keep the place clean? I mean, torture them in a clean cell rather than a stinky cell."

If they've got proper floor drains installed, all they have to do is hose the place down with a firehose, and both clean things up, and prep the perps for the next interrogation.

You're assuming that the Iraqi's have the tax base and the public support to treat their criminals humanely. Most middle eastern countries do not.

Their religion demands harsh treatment (including beheading) for criminals. Have you not read about the death sentences for changing religions from Islam? Or honor killings? Or the 27 executions they just had at that prison?

We did not go to Iraq to make it a middle eastern America. We went to enforce UN mandated sanctions. The Iraqi's will govern how they wish to.

Where are the women's panties now?

I'm going to post this again.

Women's panties have the potential to be the most effective interrogation tool (when questioning men) in human existence.

Examiner: Now, Mohammed, we've talked a little, and recently you have become very uncooperative.

So were're going to change the rules.

We're going to take you into another room for a conversation.

And there, we will put women's panties on your head.

But...

it is *your* responses which will decide how we act.

If you play straight with us, it will be Anna Kournikova's panties.

If not...








ROSIE O'DONNELL!!!

Cheers!

In his three years at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Abdul Rahim Muslim Dost invented ways to write poetry. Dost, 44, read from his works recently at his home in Peshawar, Pakistan. (Declan Walsh for the Boston Globe)

I write this for Allah, moon-god:
Though you Westerners think it is odd
If this poetry sells
I can kill infidels
Derka Derka, Mohammed, jihad!

What's that old saying, "Be careful what you wish for"? LOL! Pliers and blowtorches BUMP.

Quite - all the indications are that the terrorists are rioting by purposefully making the place a pigsty and by yelling a lot, and the guards have responded by not giving a damn about maintenance and limiting their diet. A typical tug of war, and guess who eventually wins?

[potlatch]

LOL, you had already been busy and I hadn't got to it yet!!

Fiery too!

The prisoners are having a "throw poop and yell" riot. The guards respond by staying out, reducing the rations, and not fixing the AC. They aren't torturing anybody, they are watching TV in the ACed common rooms with the volume up loud, ignoring the prisoners. A typical non-western prison scene.

[OrioleFan]

Maybe they should seek out NYT reporters over there and take up their problems with the press.

[TN4Liberty]

Agreed. I don't think it was the guards who smeared "filth" on the walls.

[devolve]

Wake up!

[potlatch]

I am wide awake devolve, did I miss something?

Khalid Alaani is not an Iraqi."

Church lady voice on --- Oh, just decided to come to Iraq to have a bang of a good time, eh, Alaani the Jihadi? And now you dont like the welcome from Iraqi guards? ... ISN'T THAT SPECIAL.

[devolve]

No!

I did!

[gaijin]

MUCH IMPROVED, I see..! ;)

But I thought all along by the Democrat talking points it was the Americans who were using unusual punishment.
Oh well, you just can't believe everything you read.
