He said it happened with full awareness of officers at all levels of command, shouldn’t he have reported them if he knew about them? These are crimes. Why then the double standard on the left. The Abu Ghraib guards have committed an unspeakable outrage, but John Kerry and his men get a pass. Kerry’s statement goes on when he said, “We rationalized destroying villages in order to save them. We saw America lose her sense of mora

Kingbee: If you are going to argue with quotes you should use the whole thing and not just little snippets that suit your liking. Statement by John Kerry to the Senate Committee of Foreign Relations April 23, 1971 "I would like to talk on behalf of all those veterans and say that severa

Kerry probably should step down in the wake of how traumatized Americans are with the Abu Ghraib scandal, because after all he has admitted to doing and witnessing far worse things, he told the senate that he or other soldiers “personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilia

Let’s hear her out before we convict her in an orgy of vigilantism. We should not behave like a lynch mob of villagers marching on the Frankenstein residence with torches. There are courts of law. She has rights; I think they call it due process. The left lecture me about the terrible childhood of the criminal; therefore, I must embrace the criminal. I must feel sorry for the criminal, advocate life sentences for the criminal. The criminal has rights

I didn’t see sensationalized public outcry when Danny pearl was brutally tortured and killed in captivity. Where outrage was over Jessica lynches brutal abuse at the hands of her captors? What happened to the rights of the Italian hostage who got his throat slit in the custody of terrorists? Perhaps the tape of the Italian mans murder would have inspired outrage if Al Jazeera showed it, but they decided not to because the Italian died bravely, effecti

US policy in Iraq has always praised this achievement, “we have closed down Saddams rape rooms and torture chambers.” That is what makes this worse than just abuse; it tears at the fabric of the mission definition. What happened in that prison was senseless, it didn’t even appear to be an information gathering tactic, just old fashioned sadism. The officers in charge of that prison should face court martial for this incident. Those calling for Rumsfel

We need the cooperation of the Iraqi people if the model of Iraqi stability in the Middle East is to become a reality. I think one of our Arab allies like the Jordanians or Saudi Arabians need to become involved in the incarceration from this point forward, they could go in the prison and assure the Arab world that prisoners are receiving humane treatment. Americans have had some rough days in Iraq, but there is no excuse for substituting one b

I hope you're not suggesting that Saddam needed to go because if we didn't remove him we were gonna wake up one morning with Iraqi paratroopers dropping into our yards like Red Dawn. You fail to realize that the enemy is not fighting conventionally, on Sept 11th 19 enemy soldiers wearing no uniforms ki

A memorial is a good thing, but the memorial seemed to have had an agenda. Koppel is obviously biased; he appeared on airhead America and said as much. Look at the picture from the nightline site; they call Cheney “the Quiet American.” It’s not an arbitrary choice of words; the Quiet American was a novel by Graham Greene, about Vietnam, during the colonial French war. The story became prophetic, it foretold future American involvement and how the effo

This controversy is just ridiculous. American college hazing is a lot worse than this alleged “prisoner torture.” Perhaps the Iraqis would rather go back to the good old days. Saddam would’ve had their tongues amputated, or thrown them off three story buildings, or worse.

I think the US is making the right adjustment to find Saddams thugs, gift wrap them in Republican guard uniforms and return them to the Iraqi people. Most Americans are not all that thrilled about our people dying in droves for a bunch of ungrateful Iraqis, so I say it’s a good idea, let them be ruled by the republican guard and other Saddam thugs, these guys understand the realities of how to gain control in that region and for the right p

The hypocrisy is thick enough to cut with a knife, the Trotskyites claim that Bush deserted the guard; they keep alleging that he was AWOL even though they have no proof. They decry Bush’s alleged desertion, but when an actual case of desertion occurs, they hail the deserters as saviors.

It’s a shame Dan Kashew was exiled. After Dan said all those terrible things about Brad, he seems non apologetic, even defiant, so this must not be a big deal to him. I think Jeremy is right, an elitist clique have formed an unholy alliance. A consortium of megalomaniacal elitist users religiously add points to each others chat sessions, The elitists have effectively turned the point system into a popularity contest rather than a reward for
