"The Todal" wrote in message ... "Bystander" wrote in message ... "= Vox Populi ©" wrote in message (snipped): Six U.S. troops charged with Iraq torture I have seen the photos and they are appalling. The treatment of prisoners is utterly indefensible. At least America is dealing with it, and has admitted it. Many countries that use torture would never dream of allowing these reports. Well, perhaps it would be more accurate to say: now that it's in the public domain the PR people in the White House and the Pentagon can see that it is indefensible and they are duly blaming it all on renegade troops or (better still) outside contractors. Meanwhile, all the other torture will not be admitted until it has been discovered. This incident was being investigated before it came out in the news. The first news reports I saw of this (I think CBS was the network that "broke" the story) said that dicipline was already being handed out to those directly involved and to several officers, including a general, in the responsible command. Those were at the Abu Grhaib prison. So far I've not heard that those who took the photos were arrested. Here's a revisionist thought: What if the photos were taken by the Iraqis themselves for propaganda purposes? BTW, if the photos were taken by American soldiers I expect to see courts-martial for them, and nice long prison sentences - with Iraqi guards! -- Cheers, Bama Brian Libertarian -------------- In the Y2K presidential elections, there were 103 million eligible voters - of whom 51 million voted for "None of the above" by not voting. |

news:KACkc.1001$Ia6.92253@attbi_s03: Where are the videos of Americans cheering in the streets over what happened, like the supporters ofd the "insurgents" when they hung the burned bodies of our dead from bridges? The closest we can come to that are the appeaceniks who cheer when the terrorists kill American soldiers and called Tillman a babykiller. -- "It's obvious to me that this country is rapidly dividing itself into two camps - the wimps and the warriors. The ones who want to argue and assess and appease, and the ones who want to carry this fight to our enemies and kill them before they kill us." --The Hon. Zell Miller |
