Reply #7: Don't you see what has happened?

This torture and abuse is due to the mindset that was cultivated by the White House and the media in the run-up to war - the false idea, the reprehensible lie, that Iraq was responsible for 9/11.

That's why these soldiers are going insane with anger over in Iraq. So many of them believed the lies they were told - that Hussein had something to do with 9/11 (a claim b*sh himself stated he could not make), that he had WMD ready to attack us - that they see the Iraqi people both as enemies and at the same time people the military is supposedly "liberating" (another lie).

Because they were shipped away and their environment is very controlled, it took longer for them to start waking up to the fact that the traitors in the b*sh administration lied them into a war.

From what I've read in reputable sources - the Independent, the Guardian, Der Spiegel, and other non-American media - it seems the soldiers mostly know they were lied to. Some people snap when they reach a painful cognitive dissonance.

These deaths are a direct result of the lies from a gang of unelected crooks and thieves in the White House.
