re: Yup. Is it a reflection of American society in general, or is an aberration? With so many examples in at least 3 or 4 different locations, one has to wonder which it is. Or is it a symptom of the people ignoring the politics of the country, not caring? What was it like being a German in the early Nazi years, with people like the Gargoyoles on this thread saying torture is OK? Sure, you and I are really disturbed, but the average American may or may not know what is happening... if they read it in the paper they may think "hell, our leaders are right and this is probably BS, we voted for our leaders, and this is the greatest country in the world, and I gotta get the kids to see Star Wars in 10 minutes". re: We long ago lost the title of good guys. This story only confirms what the world has been accusing us of for the past three years. There is a huge disconnect. What the world thinks, what the American public thinks. Is it the fault of the press? Why did the Germans put up with the Nazis? Why are Americans putting up with the torturing, murdering neocons? John

>"They also tell of Specialist Damien Corsetti, an interrogator called "Monster" - he had the word tattooed in Italian across his chest - who one sergeant praised as the "king of torture". One Saudi detainee testified that Spc Corsetti held his penis against his face and threatened to rape him." ....And there i was. In my dream. With Massive R - E - M. sleep. I felt the Monster grab my shirt. Lift me up in the air. And then everything went rushing in my bowels. I said to Myself. Self. U have put everything u have in to this thing... u call life. And i think. The heart and soul just came to collect. .... it's time to go now. Look destiny in the eye and don't flinch....
