WASHINGTON POST PLANNING TO UNLEASH MORE PRISONER ABUSE PHOTOS, NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING...
The pictures obtained by The Post include shots of soldiers simulating sexually explicit acts with one another and shots of a cow being skinned and gutted and soldiers posing with its severed head. There are also dozens of pictures of a cat's severed head....
Other photographs show wounded men and dead bodies. In one, a dead man is lying in the back of a truck, his shirt, face and left arm covered in blood. His right arm is missing. Another photograph shows a dead body, gray and decomposing. A young soldier is leaning over the corpse, smiling broadly and giving the "thumbs-up" sign.
And in another picture a young woman lifts her shirt, exposing her breasts. She is wearing a white band with numbers on her wrist, but it is unclear if she is a prisoner.
Another photograph of a naked man with a dark hood over his head, handcuffed to a cell door. And another of a naked man handcuffed to a bunk bed, his arms splayed so wide that his back is arched...
A picture shows a soldier holding a leash tied around a naked man's neck in an Iraqi prison....
That female general is!
Lighten up FRiend, this is just political backstabbing.
Rummy is in great shape, nationally and within the admin.
He does have a responsibility to assure the president that these people will be punished and that this situation will not happen again. The facts are that those changes have already been made.
The only thing left is the trial(general Courts Marshal) and that will take what time it takes. The defense has a right to discovery and the thing will take several months to set up. There are multiple perps and there will be a huge effort to get it done as soon as possible.
There is a chance however, that it will not be done before the election. That is the only thing that I see as a problem, but the American people will know and understand that the very few people who were involved are the ones to blame and punish.
From January 15th or so, when the complaint was made by one of our soldiers on this base, the military has pursued this forcibly and in a timely manner. No one could have known the effect of these pictures which never should have seen the light of day, they are evidence, and how they got out is some smelly business.
We can deal with that later.
Now, do you want to make it 16? Come on Joe accuse me in your OWN words of hiring illegal aliens. Please do that Joe.
More threats? LOL! And why use my words, when you're OWN words speak loud and clear.

I also know someone that has bigger issues than illegal aliens on his mind.
Yeah, we heard, you want cheap illegal labor to mow your lawn, wash your car, and cook your meals.

People come here to express their views and opinions. Just because you're own words came back to bite you should be no reason for you to threaten people with bogus law suits and freep mail me with threats.
Just like you accusing me of hoping we lose the war in Iraq. That's absolutely false, not true and very offensive to me, as American's are actually *dying* there. But I understand that's your opinion, even though it's incorrect, and ludicrous, and I'd bet you don't believe it yourself. You only stated it because I don't march in cadence to anyone's political party, and I prefer to put country before party.
Now please, stop with the juvenile threats.
No, I'm not F'n nuts. This country, and the entire world, has survived all sorts of F'n calamities, wars, and brutal leaders. America survived FDR, LBJ, Carter and F'n Clinton. And, if it has too, it will survive John F'n Kerry. Nitwit.
...he was unflinching in his support of Rumsfeld, whom he called back to the Pentagon in 2001 for his second tour of duty as secretary.
"He will stay in my Cabinet," the president said.
Are we really at war, or not ?
And if we are why doesn't Bush use the War Powers Act to stifle the media ?
BUMP
I want the Washington Post to release photographs of the "piles of blood" at the bottom of the Twin Towers. The bloody aftermath of those who jumped.Why are these pictures not being shown?
Sorry, but what does that have to do with POWs in Iraq?
I think that this is a test of Bush's character. If he continues to test the wind and give way to the media then he is no better than Clinton.
BUMP
