My 2 cent on the torture pictures from Iraqi prisons: RW won't admit to
torture happening unless these pictures are released. I have been listening to C-Span (Burns from Montana) spouting lies, RW callers insisting that there was no torture.
I hate those pictures, but this country has to face what is really happening and not be able to deny it.

1. The RW wants to wrap themselves in the flag and stick their ...
heads in the sand so they can go on pretending we are the great hope of the world. They can't handle the truth.

2. I'm with you ... RW says no to release ... you KNOW they need to come out
I can't believe that the current meme from b*co is that the release of more of the photos could violate the Geneva Conventions ... HELLO! that cat left that bag months ago ...

BUT, it does seem that things may devolve for this misadministration, all the way to the misLeader hisself, as Colin Powell is quoted in the Baltimore Sun on May 12th:

"We kept the president informed of the concerns that were raised by the ICRC and other international organizations as part of my regular briefings of the president, and advised him that we had to follow these issues, and when we got notes sent to us or reports sent to us ... we had to respond to them, and the president certainly made it clear that that's what he expected us to do," Powell said.

Powell said that he, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld kept Bush "fully informed of the concerns that were being expressed, not in specific details, but in general terms."

3. I think they'll come out
One way or another, we'll see them all. If it's true that this stuff was burned onto CD's and distributed widely among the troops, somebody somewhere is waiting to see what the administration decides to do. If the thugs lock up the evidence, it will start to dribble out on the net. Patience.

5. Rumbutt california dreaming again....
They can't face the fact that technology is a century ahead of them, and someone has a copy of all those photos.

The repigs are saying, the photos are horrific and don't publish them. It's a trick to have the democrats say, publish the photos, then the repigs will play politics and say that the democrats have blood on their hands....when more killing of soldiers continue. It's an easy way to to cover bush's butt, after bush is responsible for the killing of almost 800 soldiers.

Repigs played the game yesterday against Kerry. The took a vote in the senate to extend unemployed benefits, knowing that Kerry would not be able to be present to vote. bush has a new ad in Arizona stating that Kerry is not for the people. The whole ad is stupid but they know just how to push the buttons. I'd like to see Kerry's ads with more fire ala Dean, Sharpton or even Prez Clinton. Prez Clinton felt your pain...

4. Rumors say: murder by beating with a steel cable, gang rape of young
Edited on Thu May-13-04 08:10 AM by bobthedrummer
Iraqis-both male and female, much sexual humiliation-both male and female Iraqis, necrophelia and corpse mutilation, torture using dogs and scorpions, and something to do with severed cat's heads-THE PEOPLE DEMAND TO SEE THE CRIMES COMMITTED.
