Reply #72: Odd way to rehabilitate our image. [View All]

Releasing photos of the abhorrent behavior of a few and hoping that the viewers understand that, "No, that was the OLD America! The NEW America doesn't do that anymore!" seems like a surefire way to get lots of people around the world to hate us even more and to have our troops severely mistreated when in captivity.

No, the REAL reason you want this released is that you want to get people as angry about this issue as you are, because, frankly, the torture thing has been a bit of a dud in the mainstream as far as rage goes. You're afraid that the story might die before the Bush cabal even sees deliberation to determine guilt. The problem is that you don't quite care WHO gets angry as long as they're angry.

Thankfully, we elected a calm-cool-collected guy who likes to be exceedingly deliberate in his actions.
