Although the Internet has been a great assest to our Democracy, Documentries like these are far more accessible still.
The 800 Lb gorilla has been standing in the room, not just during this administration, but for closer to a century. This adminstration has only revealed the Hand the Corps have been holding.
If you really want to know the magnitude of this Infestation...follow the money.
Thank Goodnes for these Educational Films , they bring US the cold hard indictable facts and help those who are unable or unwilling to see the big picture.
Who were the “Investgators” and “MP’s “ in the room- Blackwater Employees too? Our Kids had no real choice, follow order or be court marshalled. Employees of these For Hire Mercenary Co’s have no such obligation to follow such deprave orders- Quit!
Any BlackWater, Or Subcontracting entity who participated in Torture are all Personally Responsible for their action- they were not unduly coerced. Our Volunteer Military personnel are not to be held responsible for following orders, by threat of imprisonment, or worse.
Any such actions by these Co’s should be considered a High Crime due to the reprocussions of such vile Acts against other living beings. Not only these acts against Humanity, but also those that have resulted in the numerous other attacks resulting in the deaths of our citizens and many many others around the world, a result of their business practices.
Treason , War Crimes and Crimes Agaisnt Humanity- let’s start the New Millenia by scraping the scraping the crap off our boots and Enter the Age Of Solutions, not Profitablity. Let’s at least take OUR Country Back- with all the Rights and Freedoms Our Ancestors gave US.

well folks, there just ain’t no such thing as a “civilized” war. In every war there is destruction, killing, torture, rape & plunder . . . that’s the nature of the beast. Civilians just don’t get it anymore, especially with no war taxes & no military draft. So you can’t blame just the soldiers. . . we’re all in this up to our eyebrows. . . we, the people, have allowed our Emperor George to fight his dirty wars, suspend Habeas Corpus at will, ignore our Constitution and international law with impunity, and torture our “enemy combatants” in secret prisons. Only a very few in Congress are concerned. And per the prez, americans are told to go shopping with their tax rebate. Soooo, there are two kinds of combat vets: those who hate war & those who think war is a “good idea” --

and there are four kinds of americans, those who oppose war unless used it used as a last resort to actually ensure the country’s survival; those who don’t care; and those who think, “Wow, profits, oil, no taxes, no draft. . . let the games begin” (i.e. the “super bowl mentality” concerning war); and those who go to fight our dirty wars (for the perks, or their unit is called up, or ??). Oh well, tomorrow is another war, er, i mean another day. . .

I think that we forget that modern society is wholy artificial and wholy built by violence. From the very beginning (way back then) the top dog depends on the harisma of violence that he created about himself at some point, which harisma he then maintains through the violence of others. There is another way, of course: self-sacrifice, but very few people, let alone societies have the guts to try it.

I seem to remember the phrase from the Nuremburg trials “I was only following orders.” Yet no one who committed the atrocities can remember who gave the orders and when they were given. It pains me to make such an analogy, I would have hoped that Americans were above the level of torturing and killing for the pleasure of it. But I see now that, unless we withdraw completely from Iraq and Afghanistan, and make reparations, to these countries, we will reap the whirlwind that we have sown.
This administration, and all the people who have made up the current administration of George W. Bush, without doubt are war criminals of the highest magnitude. They not only lied to the American people to start an illegal and immoral conflict, but they deliberately falsified evidence to encourage the men and women of our Armed forces to commit atrocities of the worst kind.
We must hold accountable, and soon the people who started and committed these requisite acts and then put them on trial, so that the world sees that America is a nation of the rule of law and not a rogue nation that believes in the doctrine of “pre-emptive” war. This doctrine is the most abominable and acrimonious set of ideas to come out of Washington, EVER! There are no other comparable set of ideas that have ever been made the fait accompli of an administration. Without doubt, the Neo-cons and their problematic viewpoints, are the cause of the current woes of this country. All this has taken place because certain people in the Republican party courted and wooed, some of the most insane and downright abominable people in the ranks of the Christian community. Among them M.G."Pat" Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and too many to mention.
These supposedly “Christian” men, and women for that matter, were used to bolster the idea of an imperial presidency, a presidency which we now know was disastrous from the very beginning.
Sept. 11, 2001, was merely a pretext for the opening up of the more heinous and atrocious acts to be committed by this president and his administration. But where was the congress in all this? Where were the checks and balances of the judicial branch on the executive branch of this government? In one word, GONE! Nowhere to be found. The groundwork cleverly laid, all but a handful of the Congress and Judicial branches of our government, stood firm against the rising tide of the imperial presidency of GW Bush.
To bring this all into context, everything as the maxim goes, “starts from @!*%^ flowing downhill.” All of the orders, atrocities, and downright illegal and immoral acts committed in the name of America, happened because of a small cabal of men, tied to the presidency of Duhhhhhhhbya. There can be no other conclusion, no other ending of fact than that there was no accountability from the top down.
As a nation we must hold those who have ordered and committed these heinous and atrocious acts accountable for their crimes against humanity. There are no other words to call what has happened, other than that this administration has committed the worst possible crimes against the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, all in the name of greed and corruption, for the sake of a few, who control the oil and resources of this country.

“Poor training” is one of the things one hears as an explanation.

Tell me, how much “training” do you need to know that treating people like this wrong?

What kind of person even has a desire to treat people like this that has to be “trained” away?

Does the trainer say, “Now, having this person totally helpless and under your power, naturally you’re going to want to torment, humiliate, and sexually assault him, but don’t do that....”?

Could it be that a lot of Americans are just not very nice people? Our culture glorifies selfishness, violence, impulsiveness, and the crass assertion of power over others.

Always the same excuses when American soldiers are exposed in these incidents.... “They were just kids.... they didn’t have any training… they were stressed out”....
