[kpete]

Repubs do NOT want us to see this.

ABSOLUTELY NOT FUNNY AT ALL

This is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VIDEO:
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5842271

A "terrorist" being questioned

At about 4 minutes into the tape, the torturer strangles this man with a cable tie.

This is how the United States is seen around the world.

WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT OURSELVES

[ColbertWatcher]

1. HAHAHAHAHAHA! n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

2. Sorry, I mean to say: BWAHAHAHAHA! n/t

[Papa Boule]

34. I have no clue what your laughter is about.

Are you teasing the OP for saying not to laugh? Are you implying the video is a fake?

Surely you're not laughing at someone being tortured.

Help us out here.

[ColbertWatcher]

35. I posted based on the title of the thread, before it was changed.

But if you look at post #27.

[K Gardner]

44. For those NOT watching this b/o this comment: It is NOT a rickroll, it appears real and needs to be

seen. I have no idea who might have made this tape or how it got leaked. I tried to figure out how it could have been faked and still on the ABC web site, but I don't think it is fake.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Well, of course. I've been waiting for the next one.

I halfway expected it to come from Netflix. But isn't it a bit early?

Oops, just saw the edited OP: sounds like something else entirely.

[ColbertWatcher]

4. Okay, in all seriousness, what took so long? n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Ok who got the bet right this time?

Betting pool and all

[readmoreoften]

6. Well it is an election year.

[MadrasT]

7. Oh, for crap's sake... they expect us to BUY this shit any more?

:wtf:

[AlCzervik]

11. it wasn't the usual bs, it was some guy tied up and another dude in black "Questioning"

him, near the end he put a cable tie around his throat and tightened it up a few times to get him to talk.

[kpete]

8. people need to see video

this is not good for any american.

[ColbertWatcher]

10. Nothing based on the GOP ideology is good for anyone. n/t

[David Zephyr]

33. I agree.

Completely.

[grannie4peace]

9. those assholes!!!

[liberalmuse]

12. What the Hell?

That guy was being tortured by some CIA prick. That was fucking disturbing. This is not my fucking country. I want to kick that fat ugly prick in the nuts. Leave that guy alone, ASSHOLE!!!

:mad:

For some reason, I just saw, 'Al Qaeda' tape, and not the graphic warning. People, don't watch if you don't want to be filled with horror, sickness and utter disgust for the motherfucking pieces of American shit who are torturing people in our name.

[Wilber_Stool]

13. I'm disappointed.

I heard the next tape out would be a bloopers outtakes reel.

[liberalmuse]

15. You didn't watch it did you?

Well don't.

[Wilber_Stool]

30. No I didn't..............n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. And then we will wonder why in coming wars nobody will surrender

by the way want me to count the violations of the Geneva Convention?

I mean beyond the general torture

In this tape there are three clear violations

1.- General Torture

2.- Threat of execution

3.- Tied and head covered

I am sure I could find more

[frog92969]

16. Why does ABC hate my Linux?

:shrug:

Guess I'll wait for youtube.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. There most be something like flp for mac for linux

there most be

[Nictuku]

22. If you use firefox, there might be a fix

When videos don't work for me using firefox, I have to render the page in IE, and there is an extension for Firefox called 'IETabs' where you just click a button and it re-renders it and the videos on news pages generally work. It just re-renders your page in IE format. I don't know if this is available for linux, but worth a try.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

17. Barbaric Amoral humanoids rule this nation; NOT human beings or Americans.

I have to get a spiritual perspective on life with these evil fucks in charge! So, I completely understand the drive to religion, any religion that brings some hope of something better than this,...even if it's in the afterlife.

If the Republican VP lady is merely a pit bull with lipstick, BE SURE she is on a leash: there are innumerable state laws REQUIRING those critters be on leash!!!

[Nictuku]

19. I don't understand...

... are people in this thread laughing?

I hope not after seeing the video. I am filled with shame, that my country is doing this with my tax dollars. In my name (and yours). It is disgraceful. Dishonorable. Disgusting.

[kpete]

20. no one on any side

that sees this video will laugh

it is not possible

not even Cheney would laugh...kp

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Actually, Chenney WILL laugh... and do other things commonly

done while watching snuff.

Sorry to disagree here, but we have plenty of circumstantial that they have seen shit like this in the WH

[Minimus]

23. I'm confused too. Why the bwahaahaaahaa? Is it a video of

graphic torture or a rickroll?

Either way I guess I am afraid to watch.

[kpete]

24. people

thought it would be a political advantage for McBush

It is most definitively NOT.

peace, kp

[guruoo]

31. It's so poor an example, might even pass for PG rating in this day and age

(Couldn't get the audio to work)

[ColbertWatcher]

36. I posted the "laughter" based on the title of the thread. I had not yet watched the video.

Also, that is not an Al Qaeda video.

[calimary]

21. The sad part is - there will be people in this country who will see something like this

and cheer. Probably the USA! USA! USA! Troglodyte one.

But, but, but... they hate us for our freedoms...

[truth2power]

26. Bush/Cheney get off, and I do mean "get off" on this. ..

Fscking slime!!

[ColbertWatcher]

27. Okay, I watched the part with the choking, but ...

... how is it an "Al Qaeda" tape?

I thought "Al Qaeda" tapes were made by Al Qaeda and contained a nondescript threat directed toward America?

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. Somehow somebody leaked it, to somebody, who probably got it into

their courier network and that is who leaked it to the press

That is my best guess

[spooked]

28. I don't get it...Is this an American in the video?

?

[Nictuku]

29. My impression is...

My impression is that it was secretly recorded, and now being shown in the middle easterners. I think this will have a huge impact on how we are seen, worldwide.

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Yes, probably CIA....

Fits the standard of that other forgotten war... aka central america

[ColbertWatcher]

43. Or Blackwater or CACI. n/t

[bluesmail]

32. Why corporate ABC is allowing this is beyond me.

Unless there is a catch. :shrug: My heart says it is true. So: Recommended

[Ichingcarpenter]

40. I think the CIA leaks things to ABC sometimes for their own political

purposes, even if this did come from 'so called El Quida'

[Ichingcarpenter]

39. The 'American' interrogator could be tranced through his passport

They have photo recognition software that could match him up
to his passport. But since our government is in controlled by criminals
that won't happen soon enough.

[spooked]

41. Can anyone place his accent? SOUNDS LIKE NEW YORK to me

but what part of New York State?

[CarbonDate]

42. I'm sorry....

...am I the only one who wasn't shocked by this? :shrug:

Maybe I just have outrage fatigue.

[LeftHander]

45. That is torture.....not "harsh interrogation"...nt

[Th1onein]

46. I'm sending this to ten of my friends.

I am so tired of this criminal regime.
