Whoa.
Roger, you have a gift.

You've outdone yourself this time.
just like in a dream
you'll open your mouth to scream
and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends
you can't believe you're here

That's right, I do want to.
And she has no business spying on me, anyway.
Makes me cranky :wink:

Either way, Bella's right.

Rumsfeld: Prisoner Abuse 'Un-American'  

43 minutes ago  

By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Tuesday condemned the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers as "totally unacceptable and un-American" and said the Pentagon would take all steps necessary to bring those responsible to justice.

"We're taking and will continue to take whatever steps are necessary to hold accountable those that may have violated the code of military conduct and betrayed the trust placed in them by the American people," Rumsfeld told a news conference.

Gee, Rummy, ya should have thought about that before YOU engaged in some rather un-American shit, eh?  Didn't Jefferson forbid conquest as un-American?  Why, yes, I think he did.

And "betrayed the trust placed in them by the American people"?  Pot/Kettle/Black.  STFU, Donald...nobody wants to hear your bullshit.

Meanwhile, an attorney for a military police officer being investigated in the abuse probe, said on NBC's "Today" show that the photographs of the Iraq prisoners that have inspired widespread revulsion "were obviously staged" in order to manipulate the prisoners into cooperating with intelligence officials.  "They were part of the psychological manipulation of the prisoners being interrogated," said Guy Womack, attorney for Charles A. Graner, Jr., a Greene County, Pa. corrections officer who was activated to the military in March 2003 and served at Abu Ghraib.

"It was being controlled and devised by the military intelligence community and other governmental agencies, including the CIA," Womack said. The soldiers, he said, were simply "following orders."

So was Adolf Eichmann, you simpering twit.  No excuse.

The most disgusting thing is that the military environment by its very nature, encourages people who will do that sort of thing voluntarily, to sign up to it. Reinforces the same type of mental patterns through hazing and the masonic lodge mentality, and runs anyone who stands up against all this shit through the wringer.
You want to talk about getting to those responsible for this? You've got to kick the shit out of about 10,000 people then, maybe more.

Not true.  I was in the infantry for 10 years, and this type of crap would NEVER have been tolerated.

This is a BREAKDOWN in discipline, not a RESULT of discipline.
