Administration officials have launched a campaign to portray the incidents as isolated aberrations; though, "systemic" abuse has been charged by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Amnesty International claims a "pattern of torture". But while an army report has described the "sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses" of Iraqi prisoners - including sodomy and other physical assaults - no one has yet dared compare this to America's well documented abuse of its own citizens, and the factors driving abuse at home and abroad. >> I think that these self serving no it alls should be required to ride with our soldiers as they go about their duties. Lets see, bullets hit their building and they leave the country. What about all the other wars that the U.N. undertakes, gee lets send the Americans. Foreigners on Iraqi soil have a right to kill us at their choosing since we are not at "war". They then bomb the prisons and cause riots to try and release their fellow fanatics. They then get fed everyday and our fellow Democrats expect that their should be no hard feelings. Blame it on Rumsfeld they say, who provided the money over these last 10 years to make our military so under equipped says I. Our media then plays along with the innocent victim syndrome, as if these are law abiding citizens. No wonder they are continuing getting new recruits. The U.S. media treats them as rock stars. If the military decides to make life uncomfortable for them. Causing them to rat out their associates. Then this will save more American as well as Iraqi lives. It is O.K to ambush and kill the American soldiers says Hillary Clinton as long as we Democrats can get some political capital out of it. If you run out of ammo and then give up we will see that you are treated like a martre. No matter what happens, hold up a sign and blame it on Bush say Senator Ed Kennedy. Who cares if military or CIA intelligence could save thousands of lives when we have an election going on says another leading Democrat. Better to kill our own soldiers then to see a detainee embarrased. What a hell mary pass says Heinz and the Democratic party. I thank god every day that the government didn't try and use force on Zachararais Moussaoui says another Heinz supporter. Can you imagine the uproar from Kennedy, Clinton and other tabloids such as the L.A. and New York Times. Even though he had the information on his hard drive and in his head, it surely wasn't worth violating anybodys rights says the ACLU. The New York Times would of had a field day. So we could of saved a few thousand people lives. Which is the political thing to do,save a few thousand lives or have one person subjected to uncomfortable questioning. Let me ask this, suppose we have someone walking around with a suitcase nuke. Are we then going to listen to the ACLU and other liberals to do nothing since we wouldn't want to violate their rights. One person getting the treatment or 10 million paying the price. Yep, I bet the ACLU would say the hell with the 10 million. Look at the uproar over riots and mortar attacks on our soldiers. They just need to take their emotions out of the equation says sec. state Albright. We will not allow our soldiers or civilians to put other people in uncomfortable situations. Only the Democrats have a right to do that. For more leading stories point your browser at Aljazeera.com
