mainly repubs don't want us to see the new photos. wonder why?
and mainly dems want full disclosure. repubs are too ashamed to see what they have officially sanctioned. they should get their faces rubbed in the photos. time and time again, privates and grunts are saying the same thing: they were given specific, detailed instructions on how to mishandle the heathens who did 9-11.

pointy girl said on cbs that she was taking orders, but didn't seem to want to say who from. other officers who came forward say that masked men burst in claimin to be MI and the want to take some iraqi down to cell 1A. these men had no names, and no photos were ever allowed to be taken of them. the grunts were apparently set up to deliver maximum humiliation and degradation and dehumanization possible on the poor evil doers.

it was official, bornagain, crusades II, operation iraqi subjugation time all over iraq. these soldiers were following official bushco boykin rapture world conquering techniques.

they don't want US to see how they plan to bring peace to the middle east. the hard way. i think they should release the photos of the 20,000 dead since bush 'took' office. are we avenged for 9-11 yet?

1. They must be very, very damning
And the photos number in the 1000s. Plus videos. No way that this crap wasn't known about way up the line. No friggin' way!

2. You thunk
After all this is the real deal, not saving Private Ryan

Which brings me to the real issue, which first emerged when Saving Pvt Ryan came out. the first half an hour of that movie is quite gruesome, even if still sanitized... but I forgive the director, no need to make it TOO REAL

Still they were screaming, this is too violent, what will we tell the children?

The Abu Ghraib \ Berg movies, and photos ARE THE REAL DEAL... nobody is going to stand up and go home at the end of the day if they were killed. And those who were tortured are gonna live with this for the rest of their lives... incidentally so will the guards, but that is another story.

They scream in horror when a breast is exposed, THE HORROR, but have a problem when the true face of war emerges. What is staring at us in the face in the horror show that the dogs of war do release, is not something most people want to see... least of them, Repukes... something about Bearing Witness, and being incapable of it. After all this means putting yourself in somebody else's shoe, that tricky word: EMPATHY.

So YOU THUNK?

3. Blast from the Past!
And of course, because it deserves to be brought up time and time again...


BLAST FROM THE PAST

http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/iraqwar/story/0,4395,179024,00.html

US leaders hit out at Iraq for parading American prisoners of war (PoWs) on television last night, saying the public humiliation of the prisoners violated international laws.

General Richard Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was quoted by CNN as saying: "This is just one more crime by the Iraqi regime."

A grim-faced US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he did not know if the footage did in fact show American soldiers who had been captured. But he warned that if it did, it violated the Geneva Convention governing treatment of prisoners of war.

"The Geneva Convention indicates that it's not permitted to photograph and embarrass or humiliate prisoners of war."

4. The pictures never have to be released now
the thought of them, the rumors, the inuenndo, all that will be the undoing. The fact that some of the repukes are actually lying about what they saw, that will be the opening for the truth.
We all know there are horrible pics out there, and thanks to the Pentagon our imaginations rule this process...
