What's the truth about * branding a pledge with a hot wire hanger?

[rockydem]

I've read about it here and there - most recently in HST's recent Rolling Stone article. I've also heard Howard Stern talk about it.

Anyone got any links or additional information on this incident?

1. Bush admitted it.

Said they used cattle prongs in texas. It didn't even leave a scar. Sorry no link.

2. No links per se, but....

it is dealt with in "Bush on the Couch" by Justin Frank ( psychiatrist who has not met Bush). At some point Bush explained the wounds he delivered as " no more serious than a cigarette burn".

Which causes Frank to speculate about " what kind of person goes around giving other people cigarette burns" ( and thinks its OK !).

Frank attributes the incident to an ingrained pattern of sadism that shows itself in Bush's behavior periodically.

See "preemptive war" and " war on terra".
