Were you there to see, by yourself, that what the pictures are "staging" or what the medias are accusing of took place?

My pictures from the Equator "baptisms," a full day event on board, are gross in the eyes of people who have no clue about this seagoing tradition. They will make comments on how can such "abusive" behaviors take place. They cannot picture that everybody on board would meet together on the after deck for a nice and camaraderie party with "breaking bread" together and over a nice dinner receive their "real" Equator birth certificate.
That certificate had to be presented on another ship they might join and cross the Equator. If they could not present the certificate they would be dragged through the same gross ceremony once again! People are really shocked when the see my photos (in black&white)

You're dodging my question.

You claim that the alleged abuses are no worse than the hazing you went through in the Navy. Those alleged abuses include rape, forced masturbation and ejaculation into the mouths of other prisoners, shoving objects up rear ends, and beatings so severe that it killed one prisoner and several injured several more. Did your Navy hazing include any of that, yes or no?

You now seem to imply that you don't believe that those alleged acts took place at Abu G. Sen. Lindsey Graham specifically said that rape and murder did take place. The military initial report said that the claims of these incidents appear credible and warrant further investigation and prosecution. Rumsfeld said that worse will come out, as have others who are privy to the investigation. Considering that, denial that abuse took place looks increasingly unwise. If there are pictures and videotape of those abuses, continued denial will only nullify one's credibility and opportunity to prevent the liberals/media from overhyping, misrepresenting, and telling the story out of context.
