Torture TV: Hottest Show In Iraq Is Run By Americans

[Hissyspit]

From Newshounds. Michelle Malkin hosting The O'Reilly Factor interviewing Richard Miniter, author of "Shadow War," a book that makes the now-debunked assertion that Saddam Hussein was linked to 9/11. Much more of Newshound Marie Therese's article than what I've posted is at link:

Torture TV: Hottest Show in Iraq Is Run by Americans

Miniter then dropped his bombshell with this statement: " ... Look. Saddam Hussein tortured and killed millions of people. The families of his victims are still in Iraq and they're not unhappy to see these pictures. They're happy. If you read the Iraqi press, one of the most popular programs they have is called in Arabic Terrorists in the Grip of Justice. They show people who've been - insurgents - who've been captured by Iraqi police, who've been beaten and tortured and confessed on live TV."

Apparently, the U. S. government has sidestepped questions about this program, which is currently shown on al-Iraqiya, a network still run by an American company. Originally, in 2003 occupation officials hired Harris Corp, a defense contractor located in Melbourne, Florida to run Iraq's radio, TV and newspapers under the blanket heading of Iraqi Media Network (IMN). San Diego-based defense contractor SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation is also involved in IMN.

3. This is like the public hanging. Its for the same purpose anyway

to scare people into submission, and to guage the reaction to these insurgents of the populace. Its also similar to George Orwells two minute hate.

ARE THERE NO DEPTHS TO WHICH WE WON'T SINK.

America has lost its decency, humanity, credibilty, and civilisation.

Disgusting
