The Real Thing

Power Line

Marines in western Iraq made a sobering discovery yesterday that highlights
the folly of those who decry "torture" at Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay:

<<<

Marines on an operation to eliminate insurgents that began Friday broke through the outside wall of a building in this small rural village to find a torture center equipped with electric wires, a noose, handcuffs, a 574-page jihad manual - and four beaten and shackled Iraqis.
>>>

One way you can distinguish a real torture center from an American
detention facility is that in the real thing, people keep dying:

<<<

"They kill somebody every day," said Mr. Fathil, whose hands were so swollen he could not open a can of Coke offered to him by a marine. "They've killed a lot of people."
***

His town has always been a good place, he said, but the militants have made it hell.

"These few are destroying it," he said, his face streaked with tears. "Everybody they take, they kill. It's on a daily basis pretty much."
>>>

What do you think; do you suppose we need a lot more news stories about
how a guard at Gitmo accidentally touched a Koran?

The liberals' public relations campaign against the American military and the
Bush administration, based on the overblown Abu Ghraib story and the bogus
Guantanamo Bay story, is a disgrace.
