This anti-torture stuff is finally getting some steam.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/11/16/iraq.main.1357/
Skin being pealed off, brutual beatings, etc.
So let hear it guys - how come this is OK? Or better yet, how is Bush gonna fix it?
I'll start you ditto-heads off:
1) Danny Pearl (or 911 victims) were not treated right, we should we (or the Iraqi government)? - RESPONSE: Well because Iraq and the US are countries and don't get to act outside of the law. If you want to act outside of the law, start a terrorist organization.
2) We need the intelligence. - RESPONSE: Well first of all torture doesn't produce usable intel, and second the fallout from this kind of publicity is more hurtful than any output could be helpful
3) This isn't that bad; it is just some kids having fun - RESPONSE: Ya nothing like a good skinning to get the party started
4) This is just the left-wing media attacking our president because they hate America - RESPONSE: Well there is not left-wing media bias, it is just the the right-wing media bias from 2001-2004 is finally slipping away
5) Worse stuff happened under Clinton - RESPONSE: Well that is not the issue here, we are talking about today; please leave Clinton out of it (if you can).
6) These are Iraqis and therefore it isn't a US problem - RESPONSE: Yes it is, cause the US created this whole mess, and is the one doing the nation building and miltary training in Iraq.
So come on boys lets hear what else you got!
