Bush Administration Files 11th Hour Papers Blocking the Release of Darby CD Photos and Video Of Abu Ghraib Torture

Synopsis

On July 22, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) denounced the latest efforts of the Bush Administration to block the release of the Darby photos and videos depicting torture at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison facility. On June 2, 2004, CCR, along with the ACLU, Physicians for Human Rights, Veterans for Common Sense, and Veterans for Peace filed papers with the U.S. District Court, charging the Department of Defense and other government agencies with illegally withholding records concerning the abuse of detainees in American military custody. Since then, the organizations have been repeatedly rebuffed in their efforts to investigate what happened at the prison.

2. War crimes
Not just a fraternity hazing, as Rush has claimed. The rest of the world knows more about this than we do.

I think the average American will be sadly shocked when the world pronounces its judgement.

4. They are using the Barbara Bush policy
don't want us cluttering our "beautiful minds"!

"But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that."-Queen Maother, Barbara Bush

5. What f*ing hypocrites
These people have no idea what America is about. How can they sit with straight faces and claim to be bringing freedom to Iraq when they censor everything that shows what crooks they are?

I guess Joe and Jane American will wake up when the PatriotPatrol comes to their home, breaks down the door, and seizes anything with words on or in it in the name of terra and freedom. Maybe not even then.
