Dear Congressional Staffer, Please explain to me,
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 07:37 PM by hootinholler
Why my Senators and my representative aren't going BATSHIT-CRAZY about the Administration obstructing evidence of torture, rape and possibly murder perpetrated against persons in the custody of the U.S. Army.

Why the FUCK are they SILENT? Why are *YOU* silent?

How can anyone in a public position of trust remain silent when Generals in the U.S. Army file reports with the following content:


What the fuck is really going on on the hill? It sure ain't defending the country I was raised in.

8. Nah, just nix the curses.
Edits are in red:

Why isn't (Name of congresscretin) demanding answers about the Administration obstructing evidence of torture, rape and possibly murder perpetrated against persons in the custody of the U.S. Army?

Why are they silent? Why are you, members of (his/her) staff, silent?

How can anyone in a public position of trust remain silent when Generals in the U.S. Army file reports with the following content:


What is really going on on the Hill? My representatives certainly are not defending the country in which I was raised.

4. Not to mention our troops letting attack dogs bite detainees
in an attempt to see which detainee would be scared enough to pee on themselves. See this thread:http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4195687

9. Because the "strategists" who lost the last 3 elections think...
...that telling the truth to the American people "makes us look weak on defense."
