Geez, only a huge pussy would call that torture.
I bet I could kick your boyfriend's ass. And I'm a liberal. Oh the humanity! A tough liberal!

Seriously though, how is it that I've kicked the shit out of a few guys, yet I'm NOT a Republican? It really shouldn't work that way.

I can't speak for the entire party, but I know that this is why I'm voting Democratic this year.

See it is partisan bull shit like this that makes me sick. That did not happen.

No guards raped prisoners.
Ooops. Sorry. My mistake. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was unsure, what with that Pentagon report claiming otherwise and all, but now you've set the record straight.

Wow. Who took away your lithium salt lick today?

Did you read the WaPo article a few posts above? Did you read the quote from it?

I don't want it to be true, it ain't pleasant, and it may or may not prove out, but it seems to be a substantiated report that's coming your way soon.

Stamping your feet in the face of this and declaring that it didn't happen and that it's all just Dem partisan bullshit is like Miffy the six year old pitching a tantrum because she heard a rumor that there's no Santa Claus. Because you're one of our more childish posters, you get one of those fits per day, but you're far past your quota. Grow up.

Because the guys were other Dems.

Actually the last one was an Alabama redneck, so you're right, he probably was a Dem.

And the guy before that was a pilot for the Navy. Definitely another Dem.

Well, tell your husband then. We'll set it up. Sell tickets. Whatever. Maybe we can have a female Dem fight you. Settle it once and for all.

Oh I am sure that a female Dem could beat me up. They are all fat and/or softball players.

Pussy! You are such a PUSSY! I challenge you and you back down? Pussy. What find of real American are you? Apparently some pansy-ass who can't fight like a real American. Real Americans don't back-down. What the fuck? Are you some Canadian French pacifist pussy?

I will thumb wrestle anyone here!

Is she a squirty girl, or actually a guy, that she is "donating" to slave?

Abu Ghraib is NOT a non-event. Or at least it shouldn't be. Torture does NOT just happen. It is NOT to just be expected.

I'm not so idealistic as to think that abuses will not occur. Hell, we can't keep Americans safe in our own jails, let alone Iraqis. But this came from the top down. This administration has gone out of its way to find a way to torture, to bend the rules, to break the rules.

Like many attorneys, I'm fairly familiar with the interogation techniques used by American police departments that meet Constitutional muster. They are very effective. Very, very effective. Why are we screwing around with cattle prods and dogs?

Someone has to say no. Someone has to say that anal rape of a prisoner by a guard is not okay. If that makes me hopelessly idealistic, that's just sad.
Maybe Abu Ghraib is not a non-event, but its certainly worn its welcome out. Its worse than Scott Peterson. Its a peripheral issue and should not cloud the larger issues. there are many more reasons for Rumsfeld's ouster than what happened between some rednecks and some Iraqis, with or without his tacit apprival. Abu Ghraib is primarily the interest of the bloodiest of the bleeding hearts. Is it awful? Yes? Should it be addressed? Yes, and it was. Now, lets get back to figuring out how to stabilize the country and get out.

Its hard to use psychological tricks on prisoners when they can't speak the language. Good cop/bad cop is tough when neither cop speaks Arabic. So out comes the cattle prod. Classic lack of commincation. When you can't understand words, force is the simple man's alternative. And these people engaged in the torture are classic "simple" folk. Fuck, that chick looks like she came right out of a pohoto of the front row at a 77 Skynrd* show.

As to torturing Khalif Muhhamed and Co... fuuuuck, we should do that just for kicks. Hell, I'd feed those fuckers aphetamines and house them in cells with nothing but copies of the Torah and Old and New testaments and books on Hinduism and Buddhism. They'd hear nothing but boy bands all day... Shit, I put Yentl on constant replay one week, Ishtar and Battleship Earth the next... Maybe you're right... a cattle prod probably isn't necessary.

* I love Skynrd BTW, so I can say that. Second Helping is a fantastic record.
