Well once again those muslim bastards have backed us into a corner. We have no choice but to bomb, kill and terrorize their citizens for the next decade or so. We will torture, maime, and destroy millions because at this point we have no way out. Anyone that opposes this noble undertaking(war-profiterring) get out now. O never mind that 1000’s die in our prison system every year from similar injuries.
Onward christain soldiers!! everyone sing along…

Why is this story? When we have all the war criminals that tortured people and those that ordered the torture to be prosecuted for the vile inhumane war crimes they committed.
Remember when Rumsfeld was so surprised there was any wrong doings at Abu Graib. Then there were several military investigations (ASS covering missions), then after years of investigations it was determined all the torture was conducted by a few bad apples from the West Virginia national guard. And America believed it!
Torture must be punished. This is a no brainer for any civilized nation. But wait isn’t war profiteering a war crime and isn’t destroying a country and killing millions and ruining many more millions lives some type of crime also? Isn’t it a crime to run secret prisons and contract the torturing out to others? But then isn’t a crime to use illegal wiretaps to imprison innocent citizens? Then we don’t want to get into the illegal and illegitimate backroom politics that created the financial fiasco we are in, but those are crimes as well.
Yes, we need to prosecute those that tortured and those that ordered the torture to take place. But when “We The People” supposedly twice elected the most incompetent, corrupt, foul, vile, leader ever to be elected in any democracy we own it to our posterity and to the world to prosecute the bush cabal for all their crimes. We also need to make sure the republicans can no longer rig the elections.
Water boarding has always been torture, it was torture in the 1st century it was torture in the 6th century it was torture in the 13 century it was torture in the 20 century. Only since these crazy American hating, liberty hating, freedom hating, wingnuts stole our country in the last 5 elections has it not been considered torture.
These gutless, inhumane, spineless, worthless, subhuman’s, who’s only concern is to steal all the money the hard working citizens pay to the government. The bush cabal should all be tried and hung like the worthless filth they are. Any gutless inhumane bureaucrat that tortured another human should be executed beside their leaders.
However, this is somewhat sticky since we routinely torture and in many cases murder our own citizens that are imprisoned.
O my mistake this article was regaring abuses of different country. Go figure!?
