These people make Saddam Hussein look like a model ruler! :mad:
Some 'hearts and minds' campaign there...
What will it take for Rumsfeld (if not Bush) to resign???

Even still the people who forced these Muslims to eat pork and drink alcohol should be punished by the US armed forces.
Besides, bear in mind that many of the prisoners are not even PoWs or "terrorists". Some of them are just petty thieves or demonstrators. Such hideous treatment denotes a sadistic and brutal culture amongst a number of US soldiers (just what percentage remains to be seen). Far from coming to liberate the Iraqis from oppression it is clear that for some US soldiers these are inferior beings worthy of the treatment they receive.
The scandal continues to grow and heavens know what other atrocities have been committed against the Iraqis, and in what proportions. If there was ever a case for a defence secretary and even head of government to resign over anything, this is surely it.
That was a surprisingly sensible and well-considered post. I can now for the first time say:
Yes, I agree with Lukesh.
Ha ha haa! Now that was funny!
I see what is happening in Falluja, Abu Ghraib etc as perfect recruiting tools for terrorism and fundamentalism in the Middle East.
Its hard to believe that a year ago, the Iraqis and American troops celebrated together as they pulled down Saddam's statue. To lose such goodwill in a year is appalling.
So even a year ago, no significant number of indigenous Iraqis (if any) were "celebratng with US troops".
Just the sort of media contrived spin that has characterised the littany of falsifications surrounding this invasion.

and much more revelation of fabrication on the ground since this charade of neo-colonialist conquest began...

Strange that the local who was there and subsequently talks to a left wing paper ends up in jail. Oh what tangled webs we weave...
