Did anyone see Keith Olbermann on Countdown talking about rape
Edited on Fri May-07-04 07:41 PM by tandot
pictures involving young Iraqi boys and Iraqi females?

I so hope those pictures are fake. It tears my heart apart. I am sick. What the f*ck is wrong with people???

If those are true pictures...God help us...and I am not a religious person. Even moderate Arabs will turn against us...

On edit: I just remembered Rumsfeld saying that he wouldn't call it torture...he would call it abuse. :puke:

6. I heard him say as I was passing that it seems the rape rooms
are not gone.

14. If they are real
Then I agree with a guy on another thread that said these P's OS should be executed (which I argued AGAINST on THAT thread)

The US can never recover from this--we're phucked if this is true and even more so if this vile behavior was widespread.

2. There are some pics of GI's participating in a rape of a Muslim
woman but, I've been told it's a fake. Some British porno movie.

5. Even Rumsfeld, in todays hearing, said that the pics to come are worse
than what we have seen sofar. And he added "if they are released"

15. I saw those

20. no...these are NEW pics. I know about those old ones. Rumsfeld
said that he saw them yesterday for the first time.

I wish those would be the old ones. But I am horrified about it being true. This is not some old pics from Bosnia. Those are pics showing American soldiers doing that. Why else would Rumsfeld say that the not yet released pictures are worse than what we have seen so far?

22. Oh, I agree
I think there is a new round of photos or else Dumsfeld wouldn't have shed a fake tear today.

3. No but it just can't be true
it simply can't. The alternative is too much to bear. We can't have raped a little boy, we just can't.

8. I've said for a while...
...with every damn outrage and atrocity, "What will it take to bring these f'kers down?" Apparently, it'll take a the videotaped raping of children and the subsequent cover-up effort...pretty f'd up that they've been allowed to get this far, ain't it?

11. It is just unreal
Each layer gets peeled and it gets worse. I just got done reading about us torturing a kid in front of his dad, and then when the kid passed out he woke up to his dad in woemn's underwear.

7. What have we done?
Why can't we admit what we have done?

For all the "morality" that is shoved down our necks, every day, we seem to have become a country without simple institutional and personal ethics.

12. This is not the time to cover our asses...it is time for someone to stand
up and cleans house...openly and without any "this is not my fault"

There is no excuse that can be said to justify that. A few bad apple doesn't cut it anymore...

17. That's what I heard him say, boys being raped by Iraqi guards
Edited on Fri May-07-04 07:58 PM by SEAburb
while US guards looked the other way. Nothing about any girls or women.

Plus scenes of prisoners being beaten by US guards.

16. Come on, everybody. Raping little boys is just a frat prank.
Or maybe something else. Rush hasn't told me what to think of this yet.

<sarcasm off>

If this shit is true... :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad:

18. Please let us not have raped a child.
There is nothing more heinous than the rape of a child. There can be no justification for such an act nor can there ever be an acceptable apology. If this is true you can forget about having a peaceful solution with the Muslim people ever. May the gods damn you Mr. Bush to the deepest layer of the abyss.

21. There are a couple of threads in LBN about this.
One links to this msnbc article:

<snip>

A few minutes later, Graham told a press conference, “We’re talking about rape and murder here, we’re not just talking abut giving people a humiliating experience, we’re talking about rape and murder and some very serious charges.”

Worried about the propaganda effect of a Rumsfeld resignation, Graham said that although Rumsfeld “failed us,” it would risk sending the wrong signal to the enemy and “empower them” if he were forced to quit.

23. Thanks for the link. Did you read what Graham said???
"Graham, a veteran of the House Judiciary Clinton impeachment hearings in 1998, had his sound bites honed to a sharp, quotable edge: “I want to prepare the public. The worst is yet to come in terms of disturbing events.”

Lindsay Graham (?)...Republican???

28. In Rumsfeld's Warped Mind, "Torture" Means Hot Pokers, Bamboo Shoots,
ripping off fingernails, drilling holes in teeth, castration, broomstick rape...

He thinks that just because it's not as bad as "Midnight Express" then it's okay.
