You belong in an institution for the criminally self-righteous...
Do you fall for EVERY RATmedia stunt? Do you beieve three weeks + of scantimonious hyperventilation by the RATmedia was justified? Don't you see this hysteria was fanned to a fever pitch in order to ratchet up the attacks on our troops and thereby, hurt the President?
...And the criminally foolish
The media makes its living on scandal and hysteria and political controversy...because that's what people want. That's the way it is and always has been - and that's especially true in a free society (Washington himself complained about it).
Has it escaped you that more excitement (RAT excitement) has been generated here than in Iraq since the people there KNOW what REAL atrocities are?
You're full of crap.
These incidents have enormously damaged our reputation world-wide, and especially in the Arab world. Sure, Saddam was worse...but he was their own home-grown monster, and never claimed to be bringing decency and democracy to the country.
This is a completely concocted load of crap gleefully promoted by the RATmedia and willingly swallowed by the uncritical and those with no perspective.
In comparision to life, death and war and peace this triviality was a one day story. Actually when it was announced by the military authorities in January it was not even that since the RATmedia ignored it for months while the military was getting to the bottom of it.
Only after months of desperately trying to destroy Bush without avail did the RATmedia turn to this nonsense.
There are worse things done in every prison in the Middle East and were FAR worse things done in prison camps during our past wars. Rather than crying and whining like a 9 yr. old girl who spilt her milk why don't you do a little research into Civil War prisoner camps just for starters.
I dropped my shoe- what an ATROCITY. I lost my belt- what an ATROCITY. My head hurts -what an ATROCITY.
The only true atrocity here is the atrocious lack of perspective and total viciousness of the RATmedia. It does not care about anything except destruction of Bush and every story is written and published with that goal in mind. Those which cannot serve that goal are spiked and suppressed.
Since the opinion of the rest of the world has little value with me when it conflicts with carrying out necessary national security operations I will lose little sleep tonight over it or the pooor mass murderering killers who had their feelings hurt by the prison guards.
Though I do not condone private initiatives just for fun such as this if torture is necessary to get information that would save military or Iraqi civilians' lives then fire up the grill.
If the lives of the little children burned to death in their school van by the bombs of these sh!tbags and friends could have been saved by forcing some dirtbag to wear women's underwear I would not hesitate to bring it out. Or beating them within an inch of their lives. Even such dyed in the wool Lefties as Dershowitz gets the picture.
