Time to raise the alternate reality shields
Random 101st Keyboarder, last week:
Why the Prison Story is a Joke […]
Now we find out most of the abuse happened on one day. A day when a riot went down and guards were understandably upset. […]
Well, let’s get some facts straight. Those who abused prisoners at the prison are being prosecuted for crimes. Secondly, there is no evidence that I’ve seen that any Iraqis were murdered in that prison. That remains to be seen. Of course, many people on the left have already decided the U.S. is guilty of murder, as they always assume the worst about anything the U.S. does.
Today’s New York Times:
Abuse of Captives More Widespread, Says Army Survey
An Army summary of deaths and mistreatment involving prisoners in American custody in Iraq and Afghanistan shows a widespread pattern of abuse involving more military units than previously known.
The cases from Iraq date back to April 15, 2003, a few days after Saddam Hussein’s statue was toppled in a Baghdad square, and they extend up to last month, when a prisoner detained by Navy commandos died in a suspected case of homicide blamed on “blunt force trauma to the torso and positional asphyxia.”
Among previously unknown incidents are the abuse of detainees by Army interrogators from a National Guard unit attached to the Third Infantry Division, who are described in a document obtained by The New York Times as having “forced into asphyxiation numerous detainees in an attempt to obtain information” during a 10-week period last spring. […]
But the details paint a broad picture of misconduct, and show that in many cases among the 37 prisoners who have died in American custody in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army did not conduct autopsies and says it cannot determine the causes of the deaths.
Thanks to Blair for the NYT link.
So, do you care more about the feelings of terrorists, rapeos and murderers who blow up innocent people, saw the heads off of people who volunteer to help Iraqis? Is that the side you’re on?
FYI: The article I linked to was talking about Abu Gharib prison abuses. It suggests that the abuses IN THAT PRISON mostly happened on one day. The NYTs article is talking about other abuse outside the prison. That’s a separate issue.
But regardless, your priorities are pretty strange.
And the NY Times is a joke. They have been caught lying so many times they had to make this weasley apology today.

Yes James, if you’re against torturing prisoners held in captivity it means you are objectively pro-terrorist. Nice catch.
As for the NYT, it’s somewhat disconcerting to notice that you can’t see the irony in the fact that the “lies” printed supported the case for war. The Miller/Chalabi duo served up helping after helping of bogus intelligence and ominous warnings. Some liberal media.
Um, weren’t the guys who killed Nick Berg supposed to be *foreign* fighters?
Just pointing out…
(Not that logic or facts (facts being partisan and all) make any difference to the garritroopers of the 101st Fighting Keyboard…)

What the fuck is a “rapeo”? Don’t even try to brush that off as a typo.
And while Mr. No might deny it, I’ll fess up. You nailed me. I care more about terrorists and murderers than innocent people. I yanked off to the video of Berg’s posthumous beheading. I prefer poisonous snakes to fuzzy kittens. I drink milk right out of the jug, double-dip my chips in the salsa, and have American flag-design toilet paper.
The point being – you’re too fucking dumb to deserve a serious answer. And double what Seb said – what a sweet deal. You fuckwipes get to condemn the NYT’s dishonesty while reaping the benefits of it. If they actually had told the truth, where would you whiners be today?
Well you know when I’m not putting puppies in blenders, I like to pump up the volume and watch atrocites video in my I heart Osama boxers

Hope the “Blair” who provided the link isn’t Jason (formerly of the NYT!)
the hell with the rest of this exchange— where can I get some of that American Flag design toilet paper?
I’, serious, I want some.
