SORRY, NO. And I've seen this composition before. Abu Ghraib. Or any of the trophy shots found on the digital cameras of US soldiers in free fire zones. These officers are holding up for display a critically injured man struggling to breathe. Shortly he'll be interrogated while still in intensive care, while America pretends this is justice. Sergeant Jay Cook saw escapee David Sweat running for the dense woods. No, shooting an unarmed man in the back does not fall within rules of engagement, neither for border patrol nor fugitive manhunt. Sergeant Cook was among a posse of thousands, including all variety of aircraft and vehicles. Though Sweat had evaded capture for 21 days, this was the first direct sighting. Cook was too porcine to make chase, but did he think the prisoner could outrun everything else? Shooting Sweat twice in the back was an act of cowardice, like that of snipers or drone pilots. Jay Cook is an American Hero for the Police State.

Almost forgot to title this one about a Traitor Iraqi “hero” in Colorado Springs
It's illegal for SOME Private Citizens to keep people in torture dungeons, but not for Halliburton, Exxon-Mobil, Blackwater etc on whose behalf a young Iraqi TRAITOR turned in his own family several years ago to the American Puppet Regime. Now the little puke is 19 and is still being hailed as a hero by the Colorado Springs War-Pig Establishment such as KOAA New 5 and the Gazette. And how is the American War Regime different from Saddam Hussein? For one thing, they actually HAVE weapons of mass destruction, more of all three major classes, Biological, Chemical and Nuclear, than all the rest of the world combined. So when PIGS like the recent attackers in Oakland and Atlanta go off on "their own citizens" as though we were THEIR "own" property, right? beating down, using toxic gas, plastic bullets that break bones, the coward torture freaks are actually Protected by the U.S. Government. Like the Army, CIA, Blackwater, other publicly funded Private Torture Services, they get paid to get their little sexual giggles from torturing people. Like the father of the Scum Coward Little Bitch Traitor. I wonder if the Military Police who sponsor him show him pictures of them torturing his father before they do their circle jerk?
War is over, so they say…
Said, in different words, that the illegal conquest Iraqi Oilfields and National Prison-camp Ghetto Rebuilding has been secured and that the Iraqi Puppet Army and Police are sufficiently trained in Western Style Police Brutality. What a victory for Righteousness and Decency! Strange that they never found all those WMDs, though, ain't it? Meanwhile neighboring Syria and Iran are targeted and Guess Which Really Stupid Lie They're Telling Us to justify that? Go on, guess... Ok I'll tell you. WMDs. Apparently a nation like the U.S. which employs torture and assassinations that have historically killed about twenty times as many non-combatants as they do "terrorists" and many of whose political leaders believe they should establish a fundamentalist religious dictatorship worldwide, is the only nation morally fit to have WMDs. Add in that the U.S., which has more of every class of weapon than the entire rest of the world combined, is also the only nation to have used all three classes of WMD, Biological, Nuclear and Chemical. And routinely uses gas and is experimenting with mass Pain weapons against "their own" citizens. Sort of a high-tech version of what they accuse Gadafi and Hussein of doing. And make no mistake, the American Cop or Soldier using torture or killing anybody anywhere in the world, gets just as big a sadistic thrill from his use of violence as any of Saddam or Moammar's worst Gestapo-esque Goon Squad member. They get a bigger thrill when the victim is a Child, elderly or disabled. Yeah. Even the CSPD. I bet they show the Explorers videos of their torture sessions to weed out those who aren't as depraved as Real Cops. There's also the matter of Afghanistan.... And leave us not forget Pakistan. Which General Betray-us has in his sights now that he's the chief of the Central Global Intelligence Agency. The military and Intelligence services have united, wholeheartedly, behind the Conquest of The World for the profit of the 1%. Afghanistan, which they cheerfully predicted would be a cakewalk, like Iraq, which neither of them actually WAS a "cakewalk"... because of their relative poverty, really small populations and lack of actual Weapons of Any Destruction... Afghanistan was ranked the poorest country on earth, had 5 aircraft in the entire country which were destroyed within the first several minutes of the intensive bombing. The second and subsequent waves of bombing were, as one analyst boasted, "stirring up the rubble from the first". I'm not going to apologize for saying this, if any of the Right Wing Trolls who read this haven't figured that out, too damn bad, but Aerial Bombardment is Babykilling and always has been. What the U.S.A.F. has done in Afghanistan and Iraq and Libya is morally equivalent to what the Italian, Spanish and Luftwaffe "volunteers" did in Guernica and Ethiopia. Now some of the Educated Morons in the State Department and Military are making plans Open Threats to do the same to Pakistan and Iran. Let's do some comparison figures to show the accuracy of my next statement shall we? Iraq (by CIA estimates) 30
For #NeverForget 9/11 #LetsRoll types
This poster says it all, doesn't it? Between "Never" & "Forget" are the Twin Towers framed by a Pentagon. Then there's Dumbass & Dumbo, the TSA grope, the GI thumbs up trophy snapshot, Abu Ghraib torture, Guantanamo illegal detention, and to silence those who would complain, the militarized riot police. All smiles. 9/11 Let's Roll!
The US Special Forces as a lily-white military career, a post-mortem survey
The US Department of Defense finally released the list of US soldiers killed on the NATO MH-47 Chinook helicopter downed in Afghanistan. Median age was in high 30s, which is unsurprising for highly trained Special Ops, but isn't it interesting that the usual disproportionate percentage of Americans of Color as cannon fodder (see casualty figures) doesn't extend to the higher-paid military career jobs? Huge props of course to African Americans who decide against being career hitmen. And let's not neglect the exclusively white composition of the Abu Ghraib snap shot perps, and the docket, however sparse, of other US soldiers accused of war crimes.
Congratulations, Military Families, on your new Spiritual Caretaker!
From Salon's Glenn Greenwald and Antiwar.com writer Tom Engelhardt for pointing this out, your new Chief Psychologist who will be taking care of the spiritual and emotional needs and problems of your families, is the Former Chief Torturer at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. Yes, a Sick, Sadistic pervert who gets sexually aroused by the pain of others, is now going to be advising YOUR kids. Let's be clear here, shall I? of course I shall. Torturers are Sadists. They get their sexual giggles from hurting other people. They have to have unwilling non-consensual partners is this. That's politely called RAPE. It's either non-consensual or no boner. Masochist: "Hurt me" Sadist: "No". Just wouldn't be fun for them if the "partner" is willing. Dr. Larry James was previously best known as “the Chief Psychologist at Guantanamo in 2003, at the height of the abuses at that camp, and then served in the same position at Abu Ghraib during 2004.” Quite a CV, and now it seems he’s just been appointed to a White House Task Force, with a mouthful of a name, “Enhancing the Psychological Well-Being of The Military Family.”
‘Call us when WE behead somebody’ …again.
So, what happens when we do WORSE than behead somebody? Say, for instance, gut-shoot a third-world person knowing full well that the only place in town which can treat an abdominal wound is a hospital associated with whatever torture regime we're propping up, or a US Military Hospital who will patch the dude up and then turn him over to somebody like the Saigon Torture Regime? Which is what these rifles were designed for doing. Not for a humane quick kill. The AR series, including the most infamous of all the M16A1 and its assorted A numbers derived therefrom, was designed specifically to gut-shoot. The bullet-barrel-powder combination was ordered so that it would cause massive rips inside the intestines with a very small entry wound. Until Dr Joseph Lister discovered a way to use antiseptic surgical techniques, a gut wound was an automatic death sentence. A slow, painful one that could last days. The theory behind the AR series is that in Third World countries, the Guerrilla Theater, (guerrilla is the Spanish word for "little war" not the fighter therein, A common misuse of the word) the fighters with a comrade so afflicted had a very few nasty choices. Take their wounded comrade with them, slowing them down so the Army would have an easier time capturing or exterminating them, killing him, or leaving him to be captured and his life saved long enough to be turned over to the Torture Regime. We had a candidate for president in the last election, an Admiral's Kid naviy pilot who was most famous for being a screwup, protected by his daddy's rank. Wrecked his third Very Expensive U.S. killer aircraft and the DRVN government took him prisoner. Technically, what he and his fellow pirates err Pilots were doing was an act of terrorism, not a war crime per se because nobody from either the Hanoi government, the Saigon government or the U.S. government had ever formally declared war. It was on the level of 9/11 only using more planes and the killers, instead of dying to accomplish their deeds, would fly back to their carriers or their bases in Thailand or Singapore, neither of which had ever declared war, have a steak dinner, get drunk at the O club and congratulate each other on what brave pirates err Pilots they were. The DRVN claimed to have shot him down, but with his flight record the notion that they were exaggerating sounds plausible. He was given Prisoner Of War Status. The Viet Minh "cong" soldiers were not given such status. McCain bitches a whole lot about the treatment he received as a prisoner, but never once mentions that the prisoners in South VietNam were treated even worse. By the same legal traditions and conditions the U.S. Puppet government in Saigon used, the DRVN could have just as easily executed them as terrorists. Saigon did it routinely, with the help of the U.S. The U.S. Army said they didn't torture prisoners, which is bullshit, but let's
Jeep declares war on intellect.
They're sponsoring Call of Duty:whateverthehellnumber : BlackOps. In the Jeep commercial they show screenshots of a Black Jeep SUV in some tropical location that exists only in the imaginations of the designers of the game, who never got closer to actual war than speeding up as they passed the Army Recruiter's office on their way to a College Republicans meeting. Call of "Duty"? BlackOps is not very discrete code for Murder, Kidnap and Torture, in other words, REAL terrorism funded and backed by a massive military industrial complex. Of which the manufacturers of Jeep are a proud member-group. BlackOps is not anybody's "Duty" it's a pleasure romp for people who enjoy killing and enjoy torture and enjoy the feeling of helpless victims fearing them. The sick bastards who play the game on their computers in their Moms' basements and fantasize killing are only slightly less sick than the ones who go out and commit the actual Murders, kidnaps and tortures. Or the political bastards who order the Terroristic BlackOps strikes. Games like that destroy your own capacity to think rationally, it's a downward spiral into being the formerly human equivalent of a mechanical drone. THEY push your launch buttons and aim you toward their target, as intelligent and free and human as a simple bullet.
Racist Arizona Law, the Mosque and the connection
The Arizona State police are running cover for the Murdering Scum Minutemen who killed among others Raul and Briseña Flores, father and 9 year old Daughter, both of them American. The PIGS are parroting the unproved Racist Minutemen accusation that Raul was a drug dealer. Easy to do when the accused is Dead. The Racists who did that, the Racists who cover for them, are the same Racist TeaBags who are leading the charge against freedom of Religion, having killed one person, at least, burned at least one Community Center in Murfreesboro Tennessee, an assault on a darker-skinned construction worker at the ground zero memorial, because he was wearing a Rastafarian tee-shirt. Rastafarian is a Christian sect., but they say he "looked" muslim so it's all right. And, it doesn't stop with simple assaults, arsons and murders. There's also the notion of giving the PIGS even MORE powers to arrest people simply for being "different". Which is a violent act. Arresting somebody means forcing him to obey you, to put chains on him and take everything from him, under threat of DEATH if he resists. The PIGS who commit that violence take the job because they get sexually aroused by such acts of violence. It's RAPE. And the TeaBag FREAKS want to give their PIG buddies ever increasing powers to Rape, Torture and Murder than they already have. There's an FBI PIG interrogator right now acting all proud that he "brcoke down Saddam Hussein" With of course his PIG buddies controlling the situation. Some "heroic" and "noble" act! They do the same thing in prisons around the world, using every technique possible, including and especially Torture. They do it in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Guantanamo, and in American jails against Americans. Once more, Anti-American Terrorism supported fully by the Tea Party so-called "Patriots".
Swiss refuse to hand over Polanski, US upset, still haven’t handed over Bush
Not trying to minimalize or trivialize date-rape or child molesting, but that's ONE count against Mr Polanski and (at least) Hundreds of Thousands of counts of Murder, including and especially children, against Messieurs Bush, Cheney, Rove, Petraeus, McChrystal, Rumsfeld, Prince, McCain, Kristol, "scooter" Libby, Murdoch, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Dobbs, Mesdames Rice, Malkin, Palin, Bachmann, Coulter and any other Accomplices in the Wars started with, enabled by and continued under the auspices of, blatant acts of Perjury. The charges of War Crimes against these "leaders" and propagandists are consistent with United States policies as expressed during the Nunrberg Trials against officials of the nation of Deutschland and the Vichy Government of France (which had been diplomatically recognized by the U.S.) and "collaborators" including and especially Propagandists, such as Axis Annie, Tokyo Rose and Lord Haw-Haw. Also recognized precedent, in U.S. RECENT history, every single person detained under the vague charge of "unlawful combatant" including those "arrested" in nations with which the United States has no formal extradition treaties nor, indeed, official recognition of their governments as being legitimate. Messieurs Bush and Cheney identified (vaguely) 60 foreign governments who they felt obliged to subject to the same levels of "regime change" imposed on the People of Iraq and Afghanistan. Tit for Tat. What goes around comes back around. When the U.S. "justice" department extradites War Criminals to the Hague, which unlike the Guantanamo Military Kangaroo Tribunals, does NOT have the Death Penalty, then and only then would they even begin to have a legitimate cause for their Crybaby-ass Whining about those bad ol' Europeans not extraditing to the U.S. Concentration Camp/Slave Labor "justice" System. Nationalism explicitly grants sovereignty equally to ALL nations, excluding ANY other nation from that right is not Nationalism, but Imperialism. Under quite a few treaties signed and ratified by the United States Congress and several Presidents, including the U.N. Charter, the Hague Conventions and Geneva Conventions, THIS IS ESPECIALLY AIMED TOWARD THE REPUBLICAN, TEABAG, DOMINIONIST, STATE'S RIGHTS AND OTHER DOUCHEBAG PARTIES who believe they and they alone can interpret the Constitution of the United States, or impose their so-called authority onto other Citizens of the United States or especially onto citizens in Other Nations Article 6 of the Constitution states in the second sentence: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. Bet Glenn Beck University never told you punks THAT, did he? Or Limbaugh or Michael "the savage" Weiner or Hannity... Did they? Pat Robertson, maybe? No?
Illegal Alien costume has a Green Card
It's called the Illegal Alien Costume, available at Target, Walmart, et al. And look-- he's tendering a Green Card! That means he's overqualified to work the night shift cleaning super center floors. Immigrant rights activists are calling for the retailers to pull the costumes. No human being is illegal, certainly not #1 enemy of the state, which most Americans associate the Gitmo jumpsuit. Halloween party planners say, lighten up! Political Correctness goes too far to ask us to show sensitivity for the thousands of undocumented workers being rounded up by ICE, incarcerated indefinitely in privately operated Wackenhut detention centers, who may or may not be wearing orange Guantanamo prison garb. When Abu Ghraib type snapshots emerge from these DHS funded facilities, next year's Halloween xenophobic gag may be for adults only.
Another ACORN thought…
DumFox Noose and their Demented Minions (selectively) Strike Again!? Now, I used to work for ACORN. Twice. Once in Texas and registering votes in 2004.? Since Fox “investigators” tried many times to set-up the ACORN people before finding ONE who would bite, it jogged the ol’ Memory Cache and out popped this notion… ACORN does NOT do background checks on their workers. This is NOT a bad thing. The Pentagon does background checks and look who they hired… George Bush for instance. General Betrays-Us. Lt Calley. Ronald Reagan and John Wayne (to do Pro-War propaganda films). ?All the Torturers at Gitmo, Khandahar, Bagram and Abu Ghraib. “Civilian Contractors” in Egypt and a few rather unsavory NATO countries… On the other hand, What If DumFox Instigators (my what a difference three little letters makes!), tiring of their attempts to get somebody, anybody, to give them the “goods”, what if they simply had one of their people planted in ACORN? I mean, it’s not like they’re ABOVE dishonesty in any way. They lie, steal, cheat, blaspheme and (get other people to) Murder (for them because it violates their Cowardice Policy to do it themselves) all day every day. Let’s Investigate the Instigators. Who are they, what exact methods did they use to attack ACORN and by association, every decent person in America? Meaning, those of us who don’t take orders from Rupert Murdoch and his Ministry of Lies. ACORN doesn’t need defending, Fox needs being ATTACKED, using their rules, just not their Lying Tactics.
Why be bothered by horrors of detainees
President Obama is blocking the release of further detainee abuse photos. Would more images of outrages committed against US detainees inflame sentiment against US troops? No doubt. Would more of such photos add nothing to the national dialog? Well... If you consider that the media is still vacillating on the definition of waterboarding, torturers and the lawyers who sanctioned torture are being exempted from prosecution, and war criminals like Dick Cheney are bragging about their participation, maybe there's room for more dialog. Journalist Seymour Hersh has seen the additional photographs. He's even recounted the videos of young Iraqi boy detainees being raped by their captors. Hersh described that the most haunting aspect were the boys' screams. Barack Obama doesn't want the American conscience haunted by any such brutalities.
The American Caterpillar stormtroopers
Here come the stormtroopers with their American made caterpillar. Jewish Human Rights Activist Ezra Nawi now tries to stop this nasty American bug! Ezra then goes to jail as the stormtrooper gang has a jolly good time. Doesn't all this remind you of the American fun and games crew over at Abu Ghraib? See it and weep, Kids.
Cheney and other Perverted Torture Freak Scum…
There's a standard, a psychological finding used to determine when somebody is a serial killer, and determine whether he is worthy of the death penalty. The prosecution doesn't actually NEED it in many cases, but they always do the testing and make the determination. It's a level of sociopathy wherein one has a fetish for causing pain, or even death, and becomes sexually aroused by it. The same standard can be applied to torturers. Those who do the "dirty work" themselves, and those who direct their actions, such as George Bush and Richard Cheney. Their clones John and Sarah as well, and those who, knowing the bastards were engaged in these unholy perversions, supported them anyway. There's another Legal standard, "accomplice before and/or after the fact". This has also been often used in Death Penalty cases, sometimes the "first to squeal, gets the deal" will be the one who actually pulled the trigger. And get a life sentence while his partners in crime get the needle, or the gas in California or the bullet in Utah. The standards for determining "torture" and "war crimes" used to convict the Nazis, and lately Saddam Hussein and many of his friends and family, also convicts Richard Cheney and his meat-puppet George Bush. ...and the people who support them. People like Bobby Jindal and Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, the people who VOTED for them. I'm often told that this is overly harsh, people say stupid crap like the Torturers keep us safe. But the only way a Torturer can accomplish his job is if he or she enjoys it. On an extremely basic sexual level. Torture, like serial murder, is a vicious form of rape. People tell me "How dare you say that! My son, daughter, husband, father---whoever--- works at Abu Ghraib or Khandahar or Guantanamo" Hey, the fact that the Perverts are related to the whiners who say that doesn't make the Perverts any less guilty. Your son or daughter works at one of the Torture Centers, your son or daughter is a Rapist. It is EXACTLY that simple. The Torturers keep us safe? Are you sure? Do you REALLY want to trust the future governance of our nation to Perverts who get their rocks off to killing or hurting people? They're "only doing their jobs"? They're not forced to take the job. They seek out the job because it gives them an opportunity to exercise Ultimate Control over another human being, and, because they, like Bush and Cheney and Jindal and Gingrich, are physical cowards... they have to have helpless victims. They have to have their Gang back them up on everything. They took the job not out of Patriotism or a sense of Duty, nothing nearly that noble. They took the job because they enjoy doing it, and some Dumbass Dubya appointee hired them to do it and gave them immunity. The only substantial difference between them and the dude strapped to a table with a needle in his arm, THEY have the support of "our" Government. And enough people who are Stupid enough to support them unconditionally. One other thing,.. A determination of somebody
Harold Pinter on drama and US banditry
"What has happened to our moral sensibility? Did we ever have any? What do these words mean? Do they refer to a term very rarely employed these days - conscience? A conscience to do not only with our own acts but to do with our shared responsibility in the acts of others? Is all this dead?" -Harold Pinter (1930-2008) I'm reminded of a friend of mine who asked "You know what PTSD is? It's a bad conscience." An outspoken critic of the Iraq War, Harold Pinter died Christmas Eve. Here is the address he prerecorded for his acceptance of the Nobel Prize in 2005, when he had become too infirm to attend in person. Nobel Lecture: Art, Truth & Politics In 1958 I wrote the following: 'There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false.' I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply to the exploration of reality through art. So as a writer I stand by them but as a citizen I cannot. As a citizen I must ask: What is true? What is false? Truth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it but the search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the endeavour. The search is your task. More often than not you stumble upon the truth in the dark, colliding with it or just glimpsing an image or a shape which seems to correspond to the truth, often without realising that you have done so. But the real truth is that there never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. There are many. These truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost. I have often been asked how my plays come about. I cannot say. Nor can I ever sum up my plays, except to say that this is what happened. That is what they said. That is what they did. Most of the plays are engendered by a line, a word or an image. The given word is often shortly followed by the image. I shall give two examples of two lines which came right out of the blue into my head, followed by an image, followed by me. The plays are The Homecoming and Old Times. The first line of The Homecoming is 'What have you done with the scissors?' The first line of Old Times is 'Dark.' In each case I had no further information. In the first case someone was obviously looking for a pair of scissors and was demanding their whereabouts of someone else he suspected had probably stolen them. But I somehow knew that the person addressed didn't give a damn
Dr. Bousa and the CIA
One could easily overlook certain political world happenings and believe that the Arab Lounge's Ask Dr. Bousa is nothing more than yet another page in another innocuous single's meat market web site. However$$$? That would be to overlook the American Psycho Association's ...Oh I meant 'Psychological' Association's work at Guantanamo for the Pentagon. Yes, nothing is as simple these days as it first appears. The US Christian government's war on Islamic cultural beliefs is deep and repulsive, not to mention pornographic. Abu Ghraib... remember that? Now we have something called "Arab Lounge'. So over-sexualization of Arab life is something that the Pentagon would want to push in its pornographic style. Homosexual rape, menstrual blood, and singles sites for Arabs and Muslims perhaps? Those are some pretty seductive Arab women I am seeing in ads for 'Arab Lounge' Inc. Reminds me of the Israeli material military girls even. Reminds us of the American Psychological Assoication, does it not? Yes, I do not think I am merely paranoid either? lol madly MADLY!!!! Cuties at Arab Lounge Yes, the US government can actually be involving itself in seducing the young rich Arab males with porno sites! Do it and you got them by their dicks, Dick, might just be where it got started, and not just from some innocent business scheme! Hollywood might not be quite enough, and the Pentagon may actually have a hand in this 'Arab Lounge'?! Go figure? Nothing is as it ever simply appears these days. War is fought on so many different fronts. It's a Brave and Creepy World out there.
A few bad Nazis spoil the whole bunch
Were the atrocities committed by the Nazis found to be systemic, or were their brutal tortures ultimately credited to a few really bad apples?
Muslim graves desecrated by Nazis
Times change yet somehow remain quite the same, it seems. The International Christian Right has found common cause today with the Jews it once hated so. French Muslim war graves defaced Does this have anything to do with US government torture of Muslims captured? Be the judge.
Lynndie England…
Remember her? Starlet of RightWing Torture Porn? Now she's saying that the torture and degradation she put on the prisoners at Abu Ghraib didn't cause all the outrage about their treatment, It Was Our REPORTING The Incident that caused the trouble. Ummmm... Private England, your Reality Check seems to have bounced. I'm pretty sure while you were in Federal prison for the past year and a half that the special treatment you received wasn't anything like the "special treatment" you and your coward pig buddies gave the helpless MEN under your power. The REAL men, not your coward pig comrades. You said "hey, things like that happen in War" Only, you weren't fighting in the war. Beating up on people while they're helpless isn't fighting... I realize that your punk-ass penitentiary guards who had you in custody treated YOU like some kind of hero. You were only doing what they do to prisoners every day. Pigs never do seem to get the idea that torture isn't a good thing. The penitentiary guards and police here in America treat prisoners basically the same way. Because the prisoners are helpless and the pigs get off to treating people like that. Must really suck to be one of Your kids, or Your pets, or Your aged mother... Abusive people are like that. They treat anybody or any animal that's helpless the same way. Bitch, YOU were never a hero of any kind. You're a sick sadistic asshole. You're a sex offender, of the worst kind. You get aroused by torture and you, like your slimy slithering Comrades you work your evil way into a system which permits you to do it, enables you to do it, and rewards you for doing it. Maybe a condition of your parole should have been that you go back to Iraq, and walk the streets there, every day visit every single one of the Men and Women you and your Coward Bitch Comrades tortured... alone and unarmed.
The Kangaroo Trial of Lieutenant Colonel William Steele
Saddam's US jailer goes on trial What's this about? Who is this man, Lieutenant Colonel William Steele, who now faces life in prison? What did he do? Wikipedia gives us some basic information about the charges this man faces. William H. Steele We learn what the legal charges consist of here, and what we find is that this man, like Guantanamo military chaplain James Yee before him, has done absolutely nothing worthy of being made into a criminal offense. James Yee was let go after a torturing Kafkaesque experience where the military threatened to destroy his life completely. William Steele will not be so lucky it appears. So what did he supposedly do, this Lieutenant Colonel? It turns out that he gave Saddam Hussein a cigar and some hair color to cover up the gray hair while he was in jail! For this he is charged with aiding an enemy of the United States and was threatened originally with the death penalty! Oh yes, there are other charges they used to stack the deck for conviction against this career officer. He was charged with flirting some with a female interpreter! And get this! He was charged with having porn on his computer! Oh, and it gets much worse.... He allowed some kids, that were thrown into this military prison, to call out on his own personal cell phone to notify family members of their arrest by the US storm troopers! What a beast! I think we can see now why people like Yee and Steele have to be imprisoned. They are to be made into an example for others in the US military, that no compassion must be allowed with Muslim prisoners. Muslim prisoners are to be tortured, humiliated, and murdered, and not coddled as Steele is made out to have been doing. What a contrast! Under the Bush Administration with active Democratic Party help, the US has put thousands of POWs in Afghanistan in air tight containers where they were suffocated, choked, and shot to death. They have hooded and tortured POWs at Guantanamo using isolation techniques of sensory deprivation. They have raped and sexually humiliated POWs at Abu Ghraib, along with using other forms of physical and psychological tortures. They have moved ('rendered') POWs to hidden torture centers around the globe using a hidden fleet of unmarked aircraft. But giving a cigar to Saddam Hussein in jail is now to be made into a capital offense, which in the infinite mercy of these Christian Crusaders will be turned into a mere life sentence in prison. All minds off Donald Rumsfield and Dickey Cheney... Who's the guy who gave the cigar to Saddam? Get him! Give him LIFE! This whole trial is an indecent charade, and shows how little
Call out Alliant Techsystems & CACI too
Other military industries complicit in war crimes in Iraq have offices in Colorado Springs at Academy and Fountain Blvds. ATK Alliant Techsystems is the leading supplier of Depleted Uranium, which is poisoning the Iraqi populace as well as our soldiers. Ft Carson vets who father children with birth defects will know whom they can hold responsible. Likewise, CACI International provides "security solutions" to our boys overseas. Celebrated, ie leaked, examples were the torture methods employed at Abu Ghraib. To be fair, abuses at Abu Ghraib were also administered by Colorado Springs neighbor TITAN CORP, now L-3 Communications Titan Group. Isn't it amazing that so many culprits of Iraq atrocities are represented in Colorado Springs, at ACADEMY AND FOUNTAIN?! Our visit on Tuesday will be straight into the midst of these callous profiteers.
COS military-industrial complex HQ
Almost all of the defense industry giants earning the largest profits in this war on terror have offices in Colorado Springs. Here's a cluster at the intersection of Academy and Fountain Blvds: Lockheed Martin, 1150 Academy Park Loop #1 Boeing, 1330 Inverness #2 Northrop Grumman, 1330 Inverness #3 General Dynamics, 1330 Inverness #4 Raytheon, 1330 Inverness #5 Mitre, 1155 Academy Park Loop Intecon, 1050 South Academy Boulevard and the ill-reported Iraq War opportunists: Alliant Techsystems, 1250 Academy Park Loop (depleted uranium) BAE Systems, 1150 Academy Park Loop (armor) CACI International, 1250 Academy Park Loop (Abu Ghraib) L-3 Communications TITAN Group, 1150 Academy Park Loop (Abu Ghraib)
Camp Bucca is not in Minnesota
I have done sort of a personal poll recently by asking folk if they have heard of Camp Bucca. Almost nobody has, since after Abu Ghraib Doctor Franken Rummy and Attorney General 'Cinco de Mayo' Gonzalez set out to hide away the continuation of Abu Ghraib from public (and media) scrutiny. Currently there are upwards of 20,000 US held Iraqi POWs held at Camp Bucca out of about a total 25,000 in all. They're all being treated most kindly of coarse since that is the American Way. Camp Bucca
‘The Peace and Stability Industry’ goes to work ‘for’ Darfur
Yes, there is such a creature that calls itself 'The Peace and Stability Industry'. The 'International Peace Operations Association' considers themselves to be just that. And they're for 'Saving Darfur'. The money for the Justice and Peace Darfur benefit tomorrow is going to a group called CARE.

The answer may surprise readers who are unfamiliar with the modern cash cow of private security contracting. Much of it is channeled to Pacific Architects and Engineers (PAE)—an L.A.-based subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest defense contractor. Another significant portion goes to the L.A.-based DynCorp International, a name you may recognize from the child sex trafficking scandal in Bosnia, or the alleged beatings of journalists in Haiti, or the toxic crop-spraying in Colombia. No individual DynCorp employee has been prosecuted in any of these cases. To the contrary, DynCorp went on to win more lucrative contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan ... and, yes, Darfur. Whereas the lack of accountability for hired guns in America’s current wars has proved to be one of the major stories of the past few years (think Blackwater in Fallujah, or Titan at Abu Ghraib), there’s been hardly a peep about U.S. defense contractors on the ground in Darfur. When I asked a senior official from CARE—a major humanitarian group working throughout Sudan—about the phenomenon, she replied: “Our people are not aware of private contractors in Darfur. Some in Khartoum, but not Darfur.” This oversight is difficult to comprehend, given that the vast majority of AMIS projects in Darfur are managed by PAE and DynCorp employees, from the building of barracks to the provision of strategic transport..... .......
