Dog handlers cornered prisoners with snarling dogs to scare them into urinating on themselves. Naked prisoners and prisoners with bags over their heads were forced within inches of barking dogs. US soldiers threatened to set the dogs loose on detainees.

I bet Nick Berg wishes he had 12 stitches from a dog bite.

Even as a op-ed this has reached the level of kindergarten, the tenous line from dogs to Rumsfeld is absolutely embarassing. The only redeeming sentence is the one that points out Bob Byrd, but Derrick doesn't want him to reign. Amateur night at the Boston Globe.

This is one of the dumbest, unfocused, and juvenile things that I've read in a long time. You have earned a quote from Billy Madison.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

"Wouldn't you like to be a dog? I would. Dogs are friendly."

Didn't I just hear that from someone recently?

clearly violating the Geneva Convention

I'm going to see if I can find in the CG where it says dogs can not be used for interigation. Just because I don't take the globes word for it. They've been know not to do homework before. If someone else finds it first let me know.

From Today's Letters to the Editor at the Boston Globe

Kerry should resign, but not Bush? Boston Globe

SO LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Kerry Healey thinks that John Kerry should resign from the US Senate while running for president (Page A1, June 16). Does she hold the same view of George Bush? After all, the president has a much harder job than Kerry and has been absent from Washington frequently while in office. Bush has taken more vacation time than any other president in history and has spent more time using Air Force One to raise money for his campaign than any other president. Yes, Clinton bashers, even more than Bill.

Perhaps Bush and Healy and the rest of the Republican Party should pay attention to their own jobs and the very hard work ahead of them instead of throwing stones. It is the Bush administration's fiscal squeezing of the states, and the states' squeezing of the cities and towns that have led to cutbacks in services, as well as the layoffs of civil servants and teachers, and the very policemen and firemen the public counts on to protect it when something goes wrong.

Double standard on Kerry voting

HOW MANY times has the Globe run stories about state or county workers shirking their duty and not showing up for work? But where is the outrage over the fact that John Kerry has missed 87 percent of Senate votes in 2004 while campaigning for president ("Healey calls for Kerry to resign," Page A1, June 16)? Why is this story seen to be more about political "attacks" from the Republican side and not about the dismal job Kerry is doing as senator?

I was dumbfounded to hear Kerry's response to Healey's request that he intends to show up when his vote will make a difference. What if the voters took that stance? Let's stop the double standard. If it's bad for a county clerk to shirk his duties, it's fair to hold Kerry to the same standard.

Seems to me that dogs were also used to locate the remains of Americans killed on 9/11 by islamic scum with box cutters...

But they became a prime tool of cruelty at Abu Ghraib in Iraq, clearly violating the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war.

Derrick, you ignorant slut. The Geneva Conventions only apply to uniformed prisoners of war, not terrorists. We could have shot the bastards on the spot if we had so desired.

What idiotic insipid drivel! No wonder Massachusetts has the two worst Senators in the nation. With lackwits such as this moron writing for a major metropolitan paper, surely the more merciful option is to cede this state to Canada. Perhaps they'd be interested in taking New York, as well. I would then fully support military action against Canada!
