like the dailyKos, democratic underground, metafilter, and even john kerry blog comments say, this has been swirling around for months now. It was even stated pretty explicitly in one report after congress viewed videos. But for some reason the press is sitting on it; perhaps because they don't have access to the pictures?

...because normally they're so good at presenting us with all the information we should know.

so is it the child rape or the stupidity of the offenders that bothers you more jon?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know if I could get it up on camera, even for boy ass!

Ok, in all seriousness, who videotapes rape? Other than those southern californian asshats

― My New Identity Theft (ex machina), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

it is believed this was done to force the parents of the children into giving information.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

ugh..

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

that's even worse than a few rogue sicko soldiers having their "kicks" fuyckwerljwerfwer so angry

― My New Identity Theft (ex machina), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

yes the big problem with this is that it was sanctioned torture by whoever was in charge there.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

there are a few big problems here, starting with raping children.

I saw a video of the Hersch talk yesterday. The whole thing is just horrible, I don't know what else to say.

At Abu Ghraib, according to the investigation Major General Antonio M. Taguba carried out on behalf of the U.S. Army, there was "credible" evidence that one inmate suffered forced sodomy "with a chemical light and perhaps a broom handle." The Taguba report says U.S. soldiers were involved in "forcibly arranging detainees in various sexually explicit positions for photographing" and "forcing groups of male detainees to masturbate themselves while being photographed and videotaped." Guards beat inmates and wrote insulting epithets on their bodies.

i think it's important to keep in mind that certain of these things have happened in new york city among other american towns. not to mitigate the awfulness but to amplify and perhaps clarify it.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i mean to say, in new york city by policemen.

Well, read the article I just linked....

― My New Identity Theft (ex machina), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

that wasn't a criticism of you, btw, just a side note.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 16 July 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

(I know!)
