Quote from bu*sh on NBC nightly News

“ The POWs I expect to be treated humanely .. and ah... ah
just like we’re treating the prisoners that we have captured humanely.
If not the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals.”

Wouldn't you like to see him explain how the war crimes part was only to apply to the people that mistreat American people.

1. They desperately want this to go down the memory hole.

Then they can go back to being the pretentious flag waving A-holes they're used to being.

2. Be careful about....

using "Goofy" or any other darling Disney images. Disney, the parent company of ABC and who pays Limbaugh, Hannity and a number of other conservative hosts and who doesn't want to distribute Moore's movie because they don't want to be politically involved, might sue you or require you to pay a royalty for each use.

(Sorry to change the subject, I just had to get that in.) :-)

4. Do you have a link on that 90%

That's hot if true. Will help me settle an argument with a friend, or is it in general circulation?

5. This was discussed on CNN yesterday...

I heard Wolf Blitzer mention it a time or two. Perhaps it is in some of their transcripts. Sorry I can't be more specific than that. Maybe someone else can.

Nevertheless, this "90% innocent" pronouncement was definitely made in the mainstream press yesterday.

6. It's a quote from the ICRC report

Numerous threads about this yesterday (sorry, no time to look up a link), it's one of the hot quotes from the Red Cross report. They claim 70-90% of the Iraqis locked up were just swept up in mass arrests and had no connection to Ba'ath, insurgents, terrorists, freedom fighters, militias or any other damn thing. They were just standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.

9. Hmm. So he wants the insurgents to treat the soldiers they

capture like we treat the prisoners we capture?

Doesn't this scumbag understand that words are quite important? Never mind. Answered my own question.

In essence, he has called on the insurgents to torture our soldiers if they are caught.
