Now they're abusing elderly Iraqi women? WTF!!??
Just when you thought it couldn't get any sicker than it already is:

U.S. Troops Said to Mistreat Elder Iraqi

LONDON -- U.S. soldiers who detained an elderly Iraqi woman last year placed a harness on her, made her crawl on all fours and rode her like a donkey, Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal human rights envoy to Iraq said Wednesday.

The envoy, legislator Ann Clwyd, said she had investigated the claims of the woman in her 70s and believed they were true.

-

"She was held for about six weeks without charge," the envoy told Wednesday's Evening Standard newspaper. "During that time she was insulted and told she was a donkey. A harness was put on her, and an American rode on her back."

Clwyd said the woman has recovered physically but remains traumatized.

1. I think its time for the World to join up in arms against the US....
and start calling their bluff. China, India and Russia coupled with
Germany and France can take on the US.

Our karma has been cast...we deserve what destiny has in store for
us as a nation.

3. Too bad Bush doesn't care about history

Or it would probably bother him more that his chapter is gonna have a picture of the burning tower on one page, and an Iraqi prisoner with a blanket over his head standing on a box with wires on his fingers on the other. Not much to be remembered for, is it?
