These prisoners are not there for Jwalking. And let's face it, a metal cage is probably more comfortable than the cave they were living in before.

Actually many are in those prisons for far less. One thing that the right wing "we love to torture in the name of the flag" Americans must first admit. Human rights means nothing when they are so busy saving us from ourselves. So busy that they cannot even bother to act on three blunt warning of an impending bin Laden attack - because it did not conform with their doctrine. With Guantanamo tactics in use at Abu Ghraid, then 90% of those prisoners are innocent - which is why so many were being routinely released after 3 months without charges.

This is the same president who the Norwegian foreign minister said would destroy the Oslo Accords. He did so because the Oslo Accords were wrong - according to administration rhetoric. The same Sec of Defense that said repeatedly and quite publically that there was no looting in Iraq. At what point does an extremist mentality admit there is something seriously wrong and corrupt with the George Jr leadership? Just because they are right wing extremists who believe they are god's choosen administration - does that make them right?

Just another in the long list of 'guilty' terrorists held under the Guantanamo Bay concept of the Geneva Convention.

from REUTERS
U.S. forces beat three Iraqis working for Reuters and subjected them to sexual and religious taunts and humiliation during their detention last January in a military camp near Falluja, the three said on Tuesday.

The three first told Reuters of the ordeal after their release but only decided to make it public when the U.S. military said there was no evidence they had been abused, and following the exposure of similar mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad.

An Iraqi journalist working for U.S. network NBC, who was arrested with the Reuters staff, also said he had been beaten and mistreated, NBC said on Tuesday.

Two of the three Reuters staff said they had been forced to insert a finger into their anuses and then lick it, and were forced to put shoes in their mouths, particularly humiliating in Arab culture.

All three said they were forced to make demeaning gestures as soldiers laughed, taunted them and took photographs. They said they did not want to give details publicly earlier because of the degrading nature of the abuse.

The soldiers told them they would be taken to the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, deprived them of sleep, placed bags over their heads, kicked and hit them and forced them to remain in stress positions for long periods.

The U.S. military, in a report issued before the Abu Ghraib abuse became public, said there was no evidence the Reuters staff had been tortured or abused.

85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. How many open acts of anti-Americanism does it take to see these leaders as evil scum - just like the crook Richard Nixon. Guess what baby. Power corrupts. And with no one - not the Supreme Court and not even in the Cellar - complaining about Guantanamo Bay, then the Geneva Convention was long disposed of by this administration. Only tonight on PBS, another administration spokesman (an ambassador) was saying that we should be scrapping parts of the Geneva Convention because it no longer applies. America is run by god's choosen president. Therefore all those prisoners must be guilty of something - like being Arab. Being Arab proves we need not abide by the Geneva Convention. Just that this administration is not ready to admit that yet.

At what point do you realize that right wing extremists can be so easily corrupted. Just because they are right wing and god's choosen few makes them right? First remove any statement from the administrartion and their extremist "we don't need to read the long posts because we already know" supporters. The overwhelming majority is now suggesting most all those prisoners are not guilty. Only right wing extremists would fear to have rule of law apply to those prisoners. They are just as guilty as Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction. More extremist rhetoric proven only because it conforms to right wing extremist doctrine of preemption. Get a life. This administration has now put so many lies and spin up that nothing they say can be trusted without reams on confirmation. Clearly the Geneva Convention must be amended to conform to Guantanamo Bay. God's choosen said so.
