  • You have little imagination DD.

    Plus, I think killing prisoners, as some reports state has happened, is worse.

    • This happened at Saddam's infamous prison, so I guess there were some neat tools at hand when US moved in.

        What were the people that were taping and taking photos of these things thinking???

        I agree with the senator who asked that that prison be blown up.

          • The worse is yet to be revealed?

              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

              • So, brutalizing a prisoner evidently is illegal even before his status is known
                Yes the 1978 protacol to the Geneva convention says that you are not allowed to mistreat any prisoner (physically or mentally)

                see here look under Article 75 part2

                • More to the point is. WTF was Rumsfeld thinking? If this was known for ages, did he simply think they could get away with it?

                  • "Apparently the worst is yet to come," Rumsfeld said. "There are lot more pictures and many investigations underway. . . . If these are released to the public, obviously it's going to make matters worse. I looked at them last night, and they're hard to believe. Be on notice. . . . It's not a pretty picture."

                      Perhaps he thought it would be a secret until after the election. Or he didn't understand that there were something bad about it until someone explained it to him?

                      • The arrogance of these bastards knows no bounds.

                        I agree with Ted Kennedy, replace him with Powell who is at least competent.

                            • On a side note, has anyone heard about the torture of the Russian soldiers in Chechnya?

                              They are available on the net. Everyone who has seen them feels sick and says the are very disturbing.

                              Where is the outrage at those videos???

                                The Russian soldier's mother's union? A very strong lobby group - don't under estimate them... They actually stopped the first war!
