Forcing naked male detainees to wear women’s underwear

War is Hell.

Big deal, I do that all the time.

[Ice Man]

seems the servicewoman
who is shown with the prisoners
is from kentucky. so that should
be her defence if charges are
brought against her.

Forcing groups of male detainees to masturbate themselves while being photographed and videotaped;

This is simply a case of people being immature and having some sick frat-house style fun at the expense of these prisoners. Our armed forces over there are NOT doing this to every single detainee in US custody, and the media needs to stop pretending there is a bigger story here.

The 7-14 people responsible need to be court martialed and punished for what they did. They should be ultimately discharged and sent packing after they've served whatever punishment is dealt. They're immediate supervisors should be demoted or repremanded and case closed. Rumsfeld being called to resign is the FUNNIEST shit I've ever heard of, especially coming from John "I have no clue where I stand on anything" Kerry.

\"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the free fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals.

-- John Kerry, on NBC's \"Meet the Press\" April 18, 1971\"

I have no problem with him being a veteran and everything else he touts around as his license to be an elitist in Washington, but don't start calling for people's heads for making a few Bearded monkeys parade around in panties when you're admitting to being a war criminal on a much larger scale.

Punish the people who actually did this crap, and move on. This story is only still here because the Democrats have NOTHING right now, and they're trying to plant a blame seed.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Army Reserve Pfc. Lynndie England (search), shown in photographs smiling and pointing at naked Iraqi prisoners, was charged Friday by the military with assaulting the detainees and conspiring to mistreat them.

England, 21, faces four allegations, according to a statement from the XVIII Airborne Corps (search) at Fort Bragg.

She is accused of \"assaulting Iraqi detainees on multiple occasions;\" conspiring with another soldier, Spc. Charles Graner (search), to mistreat the prisoners; committing an indecent act; and committing acts \"that were prejudicial to good order and discipline and were of nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces through her mistreatment of Iraqi detainees.\"

The problem with Iraqis is that they can't take a joke

[JimmyBlueEyes]

heads will roll for this, I don't see Rumsfeld coming back for term 2 if W gets re elected. Unfortunately, this will make us look no better than the Iraqis who tortured thier own under Saddam, oh wait, no one ever complained about that.

[Ice Man]

the fact is, the prison is American-run
so we are responsible. this not only
should be investigated by the us millitary
but by the united nations.
the troops there now are in for a world
of shit because of this coming out.

prisoner she was taken to a hospital by the Iraqis and in return we anally rape them.
