Thank you for the sophomoric generalization. And you claim to be a goddamned college graduate?

The actions of a few are not totally indicative of the efforts of the many.

Yes, I agree. However, you won't see all of the so-called rightwingers, neocons, WTF-ever Rush fans starting 500 goddamned threads on the same subject in order to further their own agenda, either.

They stain and color the efforts of the many. Look at those pictures. Every "sweep" brought innocent civilians into that prison. The army report said 60% of the prisoners in Abu Ghraib should be released. Soldiers in street sweeps and mass arrests have a hand in the torture of innocents.

To begin with, this "torture" you so proudly speak of isn't widespread or at least hasn't been confirmed as such. The Taguba report is also three months old, if I'm not mistaken. Soldiers involved with street sweeps and mass arrests are taking defensive measures in accordance with the Rules of Engagment and policies set forth by those above them. Mistakes will happen.

At any rate, thanks for the political message. You may go now.

Maybe you should read some more Hersh Article, Taguba report.

This is a systemic problem and there is an ongoing investigation. And arresting people randomly after an attack may be "defensive measures in accordance with the Rules of Engagment " but they still result in THOUSANDS of innocent people being thrown into this hell-hole of a prison.

I've read all that I need to read.

Are you there on the goddamned ground to make the determination about who to arrest? HELL NO! Did one of your soldiers just have his leg blown off or take an incoming 7.62 round? Not hardly. Your bleeding heart ass isn't there on the ground so quit flapping your damned jaws about what's right and what isn't.
