Abu Gharib a "college prank"

[journalist3072]

I'm just amazed at the right-wing justifying torture.

A right-winger on my blog called what happended at Abu Gharib a "college prank." And because I was speaking out against torture, I was told that I "sound like our enemies."

These people have lost their minds!

1. Ahhh...a Rushbot in your midst! n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

2. These people are evil

Let them justify it all they want. The more they do so, the more they publicly come out as evil. Ask them to justify electrocuting people's genitals. Ask them how, if it's a college proank, people died. Inform them that they should be ashamed of themselves for coming out in favor of hurting and crippling people. Tell them, finally, that you do not consider them to be worthy of being involved in a discussion because you don't talk to sadists.

4. they have lost their minds

I'm convinced a kind of collective pysychosis or apathy has afflicted a lot of the American people - they no longer make any freaking sense whatsoever

7. A similar psychosis affected many Germans once

otherwise ordinary, good people supported horrible crimes.

9. honestly

I don't know how "good people" can do that - stupid, easily brainwashed people but good? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

13. But they didnt have people next door to them saying the opposite

They didnt have access to the information of what was going on. They just blindly followed. It is different.

5. Ask Rush Jr. if we should torture Libby to get to the truth

of who blew the cover on Valerie Plame?

[DBoon]

8. Should Rush himself be tortured

to find out how he got his pharmaceuticals?

He is subject to criminal investigation, so it's OK, right?

6. They never had minds to begin with

Empty headed idiots. The lot of em. :)

10. It was cheerleader practice according to Graner's lawyer.

"Don't cheerleaders all over America form pyramids six to eight times a year. Is that torture?" Womack said in opening arguments to the U.S. military jury at the reservist's court-martial.

Force a few cheerleaders to get naked and form a pyramid while taking pictures and see what happens to you...

11. would they be happy if their kids went to such a "college" ...

... and were abused?

[0rganism]

12. So which college are the prisoners in? What degree program?

If it's a "college prank", I would like to know what college they are attending and -- if this involves the greek system -- which fraternity. I do hope they're not paying out-of-state tuition.
