For someone so willing to defend every war crime committed by the gov't, you don't know much about the particulars. You and others here incorrectly assume that asking for more information about claimed events implies denial of those events. It doesn't. No. It assumes that you haven't done your homework. And you haven't. If someone discusses the torture going on at Gitmo, don't you think its reasonable to ask whether they are talking about events which occurred two years ago, or events which occurred yesterday? Unbelievable....frigging unbelievable! Again, how long have you been in the ME......the entire 5 years of the Bush administration? We don't know what is going on because the Bush administration refuses to discuss it. The Army report talking about the torture in Afghanistan was leaked. Abu Ghraib was leaked. Gitmo was leaked. We don't know how many similar reports exist.....if any. We don't know if the torture continues today or not. The Bush adminstration did not open up its files and let someone go in and review them. The Bush administration refuses to follow the Geneva Conventions. Stupid is as stupid does! I'm not defending any war crime. I'm trying to see if the accusers really know what they are accusing the US government of. The burden of proof is on the prosecution, if you are alleging a crime its your job to convince the layman (me or whoever) of it. Did you read the frigging leaked Army report on Afghanistan? Did you, Elroy Esquire? The previous request for more information about the US sending detainees to foreign countries produced a ridiculous claim (called research by the poster) that the CIA and Syria are cooperating in torturing detainees for the US's benefit. In other words, the support for the claim (at least in the article provided) was COMPLETE CRAP. Crap? I suspect that's something you know a lot about.
