Someone Should Hang
Those cretins who abused the Iraqi prisoners are scumbags. They represent the very antithesis of what an American soldier or Marine stands for. As such, I hope the actual perpetrators get a hard seven years in Leavenworth, where rumour has it they don't pose you in suggestive sexual poses to take your picture, but to take your temperature, if you catch my drift.
I also hope every direct commander of these pus sacs gets cashiered out of the service, up to the commanding bitch general of that dump, and if it can be proven any of them gave an order, or witnessed, or was aware of these transgressions, I believe they have additional room in Kansas.
Having said that, I really want to know who leaked these pictures to CBS and godalmighty. THAT is giving smack to a junkie. Publishing these pictures has done untold damage in the Iraq conflict. We may never recover from this. Americans will DIE as a result of enflaming the Iraqi masses with this stuff. They don't understand only six or 20 or whatever out of 137,000 soldiers behaved this execrably. All they know is Uncle Ahmed was forced to pose like a bitch for the infidels' cameras.
There was partisan bullshit in CBS running with this, and they will have blood on their hands. Anything to destroy Bush and his War for Oil. But they are jackals, anyway, and reknowned as jackals.
Who leaked these pictures? I have yet to see that. And I would like to, because I would love to see them swinging from the gallows.
This was throwing gasoline on a fire, and some of the most egregious hit journalism I have witnessed in my lifetime. This makes the publication of the Pentagon Papers look like an expose on the fact that hey! Anna Nicole Smith is a bit of a floozy, and not wrapped too tight.
The Army had this under control. They were investigating, and punishing. Hellfire, this was old news. If they really had to print those pictures, put them in the numerous post mortems that will be published on this war. Next year.
This was a blatant attempt to sabotage this effort to free the Iraqi people, and an effort to undermine the turnover of power in June. Fucking assholes.
