:wow: :wow: :wow:

Ya can't make this shit up and if you tried 4 years ago publishing a book of fiction with this shit, you'd be sent packing with your way too wild imagination and unbelievable ridiculous book...

The State Department on Monday detailed an array of human rights abuses last year by the Iraqi government, including torture, rape and illegal detentions by police officers and functionaries of the interim administration that took power in June.

2. Oh My God. This quote is the BEST!:

It's like, if they say it - it must be true! How long will people keep buying this!? :wow:

"A senior State Department official said the criticism of Iraq was in keeping with the administration's approach. "What it shows is that we don't look the other way," the official said. "There are countries we support and that are friends, and when they have practices that don't meet international standards, we don't hesitate to call a spade a spade."

6. Orwell is collecting on some bets right now.

The doublethink we get fed every day... it's just surreal.

8. I think the 2 people laughing most in their graves are Orwell and Hitler.

Orwell has to be pissing himself laughing...and Hitler must be chuckling away at America, of all nations, pulling a Poland on Iraq, right down to using the same bullshit rhetoric.

[manic expression]

7. Wait....aren't WE RUNNING the Iraqi "Government"???

And hasn't this been largely carried out by US forces?

Furthermore:
"The report did not address incidents in Iraq in which Americans were involved, like the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, which came to light in 2004."

Why in the world haven't we DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT? We are the real culprits here.

...Spreading "freedom" and "democracy", indeed.

9. Notice how American Rape Torture Murder & wrongful detainment is

"abuse".

And we wonder why we're so hated.
