Today show segment on Iraqi prison....
Edited on Fri Apr-30-04 06:44 AM by berner59
Pretty potent...saying this goes all the way to the top...that the intelligence agency was involved... Army was warned that this was out of control and did nothing...hmmm...this is blowing up!!

Seymor(sp) Hersh is doing a big piece for New Yorker...he says this is stunning the Arab world since most of this abuse goes so beyond disgust for Arabs...

3. How could any rational, thinking human being
actually be stunned at what this administration is capable of doing? Who could possibly be left that would be stunned or even surprised by this?

4. Picture are powerful
You can hear about this stuff, but only when you see it pictures does it become real.

As bad as those pictures are, they are just the tip of the iceberg. This was not just an isolated incident by some kids who have been warped by the military and trained to be such brutes. It seems that this was SOP at this prison and if it was SOP there, then it was SOP everywhere else.

This is the sort of thing that is destroying us. America is no longer the great and proud super power. We are now a rogue nation, an international disgrace.

5. yes
If that was the stuff they put on camera, imagine what they must have done that made them go "you know, we should probably turn the camera off now."
