I've just seen enough of this stuff. It makes me want to get myself off to a convent.

1. yes me too, it's so sad and depressing

especially when 1/2 the country thinks it's great:(

2. I am not shocked.

As one expects horrible behavior even from decent people in a time of war. It's always been that way.

But being confronted with the smiles on the faces of those doing the beating and torture is hard to stomach.

3. What is happening to this country when photos like this

are ok in time of war? This is very sick. Here is a link for those who haven't seen them. Be careful, they are very graphic.

6. But what you don't understand is

ALL of these men knew when the next terror attack was going to happen and the god damn government was saving your neck! Even though they had been in prison for years...they still had valuable information! Aren't you grateful we have the courageous bush to defend our country and protect you, your children and Grandchildren? He's doing this for you! Don't sound ungrateful or you will have Agent Mike knocking at your door and YOU could be in the next set of photos.

PS Did I do good Mike?

5. Lack of Leadership from the very top.....leads to

a breakdown in order. Two non-military men * and Cheney dictating how the military functions has lead to this mess. They are directly responsibile for these crimes and should be prosecuted by the Hague.

7. jeepers, that's trouble. the second-to-last has no blackout stripes...i'm

very surprised they'd cover up all of the "bits" and faces and then leave that photo up.

are...http://www.transnational.org/forum/meet/2004/Schiffmann_USPrisonTorture.html
