The New Yorker - TORTURE AT ABU GHRAIB

Can someone inform me on the rank of specialist?

This is indeed a dark time for the U.S. While we were trying to set an EXAMPLE of how our country functions, a few ****** American soldiers disgrace us! They will be punished. They will NOT be considered heroes and there will be NO dancing in the streets. (Unlike the radical Islamists, who take JOY in this kind of activity and regard abusers as heroes!)

You guys can flame me, but I really don't care. But, I am shocked bye the photos. I knew we were torturing them, but not this bad! This is sweet, electric wires, pissing, this is freakin awsome. Remember, 9/11? Iraq, Afgans, many Arabs cheered in the street buring out flag. Well, these people were the ones buring the flag. "These people didn't burn our flag" Blah blah blah, theres no such thing as sunlight! As having a uncle die in the Twin Towers, coming from me, I want the iraq rebel soldiers along with afgan terrorists to die.


"1990-91
Iraq invades Kuwait in August 1990, triggering its classification by the State Department as a state sponsor of terrorism and the blocking of its assets in the U.S. During the Gulf War, American POWs held by Iraq are brutally tortured."

"During the first Gulf War against Iraq in 1991, a number of American soldiers who were captured and became prisoners of war were brutally, brutally tortured by the Iraqis. "


All is my opinion, delete this if you want, shows what pride you have for your country. But, my final words are,
USA freedom forever!

What motivated the US troops to this behavior?

If these were men who the military police unit actually "knew for a fact" had killed some of their friends - then - although the behavior digusts me I can understand it.

On the other hand; If the military police unit was simply bored and looking for something to do - then I condem them.

War is something only those who've been involved in it can truly understand.

We can second guess from the comfort of our homes safe from any danger.

It does disturb me however that these people in Iraq can celebrate the humiliation of our men, and accept the cruelty of Saddam - but are outraged by the actions of a few Americans?

Perhaps Saddam knew how to keep the peace in Iraq? Perhaps Iraq does not understand anything but brute strength and force? I do not know.

Perhaps the answer can be found in their own writings:

I strongly suggest you visit this site and have a look - the documentation is superb and the results disturbing.
