Murder and Torture @ Abu Gharib

Watch the video to find out what turned ordinary American soldiers into the monsters revealed in the photographs.





Tales of Murder and Torture

The latest chapter in reporter Olivia Rousset's Abu Ghraib revelations. Three weeks ago on Dateline, Olivia revealed new evidence of horrific abuse at Abu Ghraib.

On the link above you can read the full transcript of the interview.....I suggest you read it, copy it, and mail it to everyone on your mailing list.

On a recent trip to the US, Olivia managed to track down two former Abu Ghraib guards - one who served time for committing abuses against Iraqi detainees and another who witnessed those shocking events. It's no small irony that both of these former US military policemen now see themselves as being among the victims of Abu Ghraib. Here's Olivia's story. And, as you would expect with this sort of report, be warned - some of what you're about to see is not exactly pretty and could even offend.

    • MY take on this is regardless of who gave the orders to do whatever they did, that once this story broke our mission should have ended. Here we are trying to bring them (Iraqi's, Afganni's) a quote better way of life free from oppression, and this shit comes out our credibility was shot. It's hard to win hearts and minds when you are revealed as sadistic and cruel as these images show. Say whatever the fuck you want, that ain't gonna happen now. No hearts and minds, no lasting peace. The UN should really think about relocating to a country that doesn't support torture. Fine Bin Laden is an asshole who should be caught and killed, but not everyone in gitmo or Abu Ghairb is guilty and to justify torture of innocents is unthinkable to me. This is a judgement call that as Americans we will have to deal with for a long time to come.

    • My favorite parts where when the American soldiers dismembered, beheaded, & burned alive the poor misunderstood freedom fighters. Oh wait, wrong TORTURERS, we only put panties on their heads and made them listen to loud music, that other stuff is what they do to OUR soldiers and civilians. Yea, we're the bad guys. You left wing moonbats crack me up that you'd even have the audacity to mutter the word torture pertaining to the US' treatment of these animals.

    • Paul Bergrin is pinning his hopes on the upcoming trial of two dog handlers at Abu Ghraib. Sergeants Michael Smith and Santos Cardona who were also charged with abusing prisoners.

      PAUL BERGRIN: It's starting to explode from almost the top now.

      The former head of military intelligence at Abu Ghraib has been given immunity to testify at the dog handlers' trial. Paul Bergrin is sure this will expose the entire chain of command's responsibility for the abuses.

      PAUL BERGRIN: I don't think there's any way in the world anyone wants to know what Rumsfeld told Sanchez, and what Sanchez told Geoffrey Miller, because you know what they told him "We don't care what you do, just get in there and get us information. You can kill 'em for all we care. Treat 'em like dogs". We don't care how you get the information. Your job is to get the information" And I think that is starting to roll down hill.
