hey take a picture of me with this rotting corpse....the other woman
Edited on Sat May-08-04 07:13 PM by mopaul
this snippet from the washington post referring to that other 'lady' soldier seen giving a thumbs up by a pyramid of nake iraqi p.o.w.'s

http://www.washingtonpost.com/

...................

Among hundreds of digital pictures passed around her MP unit -- and obtained by The Post -- is one taken before the soldiers got to Abu Ghraib in October. In it, Harman is smiling, crouching slightly, a thumb up, and leaning toward a blackened, decaying corpse with long fingers and a gaping mouth.

The photo was taken at a makeshift combat morgue in Al Hillah, her family said, citing letters that Harman sent with the picture.

Sabrina Harman grew up around photographs of dead people, her family explained. Her father was a homicide detective, and her mother was a forensics buff. Robin Harman said her husband often brought home crime-scene photographs for the family to "profile."

"She has been looking at autopsies and crime-scene pictures since she was a kid," her mother said.

i hope rush has seen the pics, he loves warnography.

6. It's strange, the thumbs up, but not the forensics.
My best friend is studying to be a pathologist. Her daughter is fascinated by the work her mother does. (Hey, I'm glad to hear it! Girls in Science! WooHoo!) While neither my friend nor her daughter would ever consider grinning and thumbs-upping over a corpse, they neither one are "grossed out" by the natural decay that happens to us when we die.

It's science, people. It's not a weird family. It's just one that faces the facts about death.

8. Good lord, that little ('lady') is really getting on my nerves
The first pic on the washington post slideshow was one they had to crop.

The first pic alone is truly depraved... She even LOOKS like a little 10 year old boy too. I'm not going to comment on all of them, and many of these are utterly perverse. This is not a porno mag with consenting adults, this is real life in a faux war.

and there were only 10 pictures. Hundreds were purportedly taken. I wonder what they look like. :scared:

And all of it done where Saddam did his own torture. That's the fuckin' icing on the cake.

Animals. They are being treated like animals. BY animals. Animals who include themselves in the picture, smiling as if they just won 1st place trophies. x( Inhuman fucking SCUM who deserve the same treatment as they are doing unto others...

The terrorists are now more resolute thanks to bushco*. Rummy and all obviously WANT this to happen.

You know, I almost wish there was nuclear war. Humans do not deserve to survive. Especially when the most powerful country acts worse than everybody else. I am truly disgusted.

10. Warnography

(Came up with this well before the photos were even known about. I have to give props to Symbolman for coining the word - at least as far as this war is concerned.)

11. PS: Weren't they APOPLECTIC recently about Janet Jackson's breast?

It just proves that conservatives are against nakedness ... unless someone is getting tortured or killed in the process.

Then it's just good clean college-level shenanigans.
