Believe it, read it and weep:

A Canadian, Omar Khadr, was 15 in 2002 when he was captured in Afghanistan and interned at Guantánamo. For two and a half years, he was allowed no contact with a lawyer or with his family.

Akhtar Muhammad, 17, told Amnesty that he was kept in solitary confinement in a shipping container for eight days in Afghanistan in January 2002.

A Pentagon investigation last year by Major General George Fay reported that in January 2004, a leashed but unmuzzled guard dog was allowed into a cell holding two children. The intention was for the dog to "'go nuts on the kids,' barking and scaring them."

Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, formerly in charge of Abu Ghraib, told Fay about visiting a weeping 11-year-old in the prison's notorious Cellblock 1B, which housed prisoners designated high risk. "He told me he was almost 12," Karpinski recalled, and that "he really wanted to see his mother, could he please call his mother."

1. Well he tortured animals as a child; are we surprised? Horrified, yes,

and pissed off and disgusted, but never, never surprised...
he is a Republican, after all...

2. I've been sending articles like this one

to Senator Feingold. I'm beyond sick about these actions being done in my name. Hopefully the photos being released to the ACLU will hit the airwaves tomorrow and the outrage will begin in earnest.

3. It just gets more heartbreaking

by the minute.

I'm emailing this also.
Wish me luck, I live in Pa, and Phil(tob)English is my rep.

Thank you Steve.
