gerryhatrick Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 U.S. abuse continued in wake of Abu GhraibBy Eric Schmitt and Carolyn Marshall The New York Times SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 2006 As the Iraqi insurgency intensified in early 2004, an elite Special Operations forces unit converted one of Saddam Hussein's former military bases near Baghdad into a top-secret detention center. There, American soldiers made one of the former Iraqi government's torture chambers into their own interrogation cell. They named it the Black Room. In the windowless room, some soldiers beat prisoners with rifle butts, yelled and spit in their faces and, in a nearby area, used detainees for target practice in a game of jailer paintball. http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/03/19/news/abuse.php Another situation that got out of control for the US. Why? Lack of leadership. Confusion over instructions from civilian leadership. Quote Conservative Party of Canada taking image advice from US Republican pollster: http://allpoliticsnow.com
gerryhatrick Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 I guess it's understandable all the black/white rightwing thinkers on this forum don't want to comment on this. Not politically correct enough for them. Quote Conservative Party of Canada taking image advice from US Republican pollster: http://allpoliticsnow.com
Montgomery Burns Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Oh, the NY Times is still dragging out a 2 yr old story. Whatsa matter? They still can't find evidence of Bush missing a medical exam 30+ years ago in TANG? Excuse me, while I pull out my nanotech violin and play the saddest f'ing song in the universe... If only Gerry could muster 1/10th of the outrage for the terrorists that he has for the Americans. Call me when the US starts sawing off the heads of jihadists.

PocketRocket Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Oh, the NY Times is still dragging out a 2 yr old story. Whatsa matter? They still can't find evidence of Bush missing a medical exam 30+ years ago in TANG? Actually, this article documents some later incidents, including some as recent as Sept/05. It also alleges newer detainment centers "shrouded in secrecy". Excuse me, while I pull out my nanotech violin and play the saddest f'ing song in the universe... Ah yes. More of the typical Monty sarcasm in lieu of presenting a real argument. If only Gerry could muster 1/10th of the outrage for the terrorists that he has for the Americans. And still more. Call me when the US starts sawing off the heads of jihadists. More again, as though two wrongs make a right. BTW, still waiting for a reply to this...... http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/index.p...ndpost&p=104408 .......which is self explanatory. Quote I need another coffee

gerryhatrick Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Posted March 23, 2006 Oh, the NY Times is still dragging out a 2 yr old story. Whatsa matter? It's a new story. Brand new. Breaking news as of the topic post date. Over and over again you seem unable to comprehend the simplest of concepts. Maybe slow down and double-check everything before you post. I don't know what else to suggest. Quote Conservative Party of Canada taking image advice from US Republican pollster: http://allpoliticsnow.com
gerryhatrick Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Posted March 26, 2006 Here's a question for Jerry. If the media is so "lefty" - as you say - why have they let this story languish? More apologetic behaviour for the Bush administration? The media allowed Bush to waltz into Iraq with hardly a peep or a challange. Now we have this new story of a secret prison riddled with detainee abuse and it passes on by. 'splain for us JS?
