just figured out why some think US isn't really torturing people
at Gitmo, Abu G, and all the other US prisons around the world....that it's basically just frat boys goofing off (according to Rush)

they, like I did, watched a lot of Hogan's Heroes shows....when they first aired and the many times they've been recycled

they think this show depicts the reality of a POW camp

they think all the guards are just like 'lovable (I see nothing)' Sergeant Schultz and that the camps are run just as 'strictly' as Colonel Klink ran his camp

just another instance of the RW being unable to recognize the difference between reality and their internal 'rewriting'

5. Oh, that was the most ridiculous press conference
I've ever seen in my life! Was that Congressman Duncan Hunter?

That conference was like something on "Saturday Night Live" or... "I Love Lucy." :silly:

I mean, they don't even know how to try to appear transparent.

2. also they just don't care
it doesn't affect them & they don't care about truth. Just deny it's happening as long as it doesn't touch you.:grr:

6. Aparently the RW isn't willing to accept the fact that it doesn't matter
WHAT you're doing, but what people THINK you're doing! You know the old story about perception is real! I guess they really believe in the innocent till proven guilty, but that's just not the real world!

It's unfortunate in most cases, but if a lot of people THINK you did something wrong, it's a very difficult thing to disprove, but it's very necessary.

Yeah, they aren't torturing them, or making them get naked and do jumping jacks, or flushing, or peeing on the Koran or any other holy symbols that they have...oh wait, damn. WE ARE!!! My bad...:P
