I'm still a new poster here and am trying to be a productive member of this fine community.

And therein lies the problem. That makes you the perfect victim for the posting police, a.k.a. hall monitors.

Hajji's hate the waterboard. Ramzi bin al Sheeb sang like a canary after about a minute on the waterboard.

They'd be complaining of torture if the French were running the place and serving them hot cocoa at bedtime.

As I've always said, underwear on the head is NOT torture.

Frat boy hazing rituals were worse than that.

Crying about panties on theirs heads, oh the humanity!

Bet they wish they could get some of that treatment now. :-))

The libs got their wish, we handed over Abu Grab to the Iraqi's. hehehehe

"You're Gonna' Miss Me When I'm Gone"

The song US Military jailers should have been singing as they turned
over their charges to the Iraqi authorities.

Look we must respect the difference in our cultures, or so we have been told.

Staff at the jail say the Iraqi authorities have moved dozens of terrorist suspects into Abu Ghraib from the controversial Interior Ministry detention centre in Jadriyah, where United States troops last year discovered 169 prisoners who had been tortured and starved...

Explains who they are and where they came from. The last report I saw on TV stated that the prison was now empty.

An independent witness who went into Abu Ghraib this week told The Sunday Telegraph that screams were coming from the cell blocks housing the terrorist suspects. Prisoners released from the jail this week spoke of routine torture of terrorism suspects and on Wednesday, 27 prisoners were
hanged in the first mass execution since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime.

When I was there they were still digging up body parts that had been buried during the previous Iraqi admin. And they cry about some stupid photos and panties……think twice stupid moops.

Conditions in the rest of the jail were grim, with an overwhelming stench of excrement, prisoners crammed into cells for all but 20 minutes a day, food rations cut to just rice and water and no air conditioning.

Good, they were just getting fat off all the American food they were eating anyway, I am sure they are much healthier now.

Some of the small number of prisoners who remained in the jail after the Americans left said they had pleaded to go with their departing captors, rather than be left in the hands of Iraqi guards.

I wish Rush would pick up this story and run with it.

The witness gained access to the prison just days after the Americans formally handed over control to the Iraqi authorities on Sept 1.

Jeeze, think about how much worse it is going to get for them, that was only a few weeks ago. Sucks to be a terrorist at Abu G:-)

Inside the 100-yard long cell block the smell of excrement was overpowering. Four to six prisoners shared each of the 12ft by 15ft cells along either side and the walls were smeared with filth. The cell block was patrolled by guards who carried long batons and shouted angrily at the prisoners to stand up.

Well, if they didn’t wipe crap on the walls it wouldn’t be so bad now would it? I bet the Iraqi guards aren’t going in the cells and cleaning up for them like our poor troops had to do.

"I heard shouting, like someone had a hot iron on their body, screams. The officer said they were just screaming by themselves.

I was hearing the screams throughout the visit." HA HA HA, gotta love it, they give an answer they know no one believes but they don’t give a damn…..

The witness said that even in the thieves' section prisoners were being treated badly. "Someone was shouting 'Please help us, we want the human rights officers, we want the Americans to come back'," he said.

Nice, no one has human rights there, that is something the American’s brought with them and I guess they took them with them when they left.

Prisoners interviewed in the presence of their jailers said they were frightened for their safety. They complained that chicken and milk had been cut from their rations, leaving them on rice and water. They also complained about the oppressive heat.

Lucky they get rice, and I bet they don’t get cold bottled water anymore either.

Haleem Aleulami, who was released from the jail last week, three weeks after being arrested in Ramadi for carrying a pistol in his car, said the Americans had treated him better when they ran the jail. He claimed that visits from the International Red Cross staff had dried up and accused local human rights workers of being members of Shia groups who turned a blind eye to problems in the jail.

The ICRC can kiss my A$$. They were out there in force when the US was there and there were mortar attacks all the time, they are full of crap. The ICRC lives to criticize the US, they will not do anything for those prisoners. Funny you only see them visiting locations run by the US (as far as I know) they never do anything for westerner who are being detained. I say STOP ALL US FUNDING TO THE ICRC….hell and the UN for that matter.

And Khalid Alaani, who was also picked up in Ramadi suspected of involvement in Sunni terrorism, said: "We preferred the Americans. We asked to move with them to Baghdad airport because we knew the treatment would be changed because we know what the Iraqis are. When the Americans left everything changed."

Too bad the MSM aren’t going to report this, wish the White House would bring it to light.

Staff at the jail said that the prisoners were allowed out from their cells for only 15 to 20 minutes a day because of the danger from the regular mortar attacks. They are no longer allowed access to the main hall where the Americans had allowed them to watch television and the room is now reserved for the use of officers and guards. Staff explained that the air conditioning in the cell blocks had broken, although it was working in their quarters.

They are Iraqis, they can handle the heat. When the first rotations of troops were in Iraq it was 140 degrees during the day and we had no A.C. Suck it up!

Yesterday, the International Red Cross confirmed that its visits to the prison had been suspended since January 2005 on security grounds. The frenchies are scared!
