Certain US Soldiers Specialized In Sodomy

http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2004/mayo/mar11/20SOD.html

CERTAIN U.S. soldiers specialized in practicing sodomy with Iraqi prisoners at the Abu Gharib prison, according to a former colonel from the Iraqi Army who was detained for three months at this center on the outskirts of Baghdad.

"The man in charge of my section raped several prisoners, both men and women," confirmed the former military commander in a statement published today in the French daily Libération. Colonel Areth explained that the U.S. soldiers "were not the only ones" who committed such acts, as "there were also Iraqis who raped other Iraqis".

The Abu Gharib prison command, at the center of the storm following the revelation or torture and humiliating treatment accompanied by photographs, had organized a group of capos from the common criminals who were responsible for sowing terror amongst the detainees, revealed the daily.

"They are called the "murakhabine". Some 25 vigilantes were appointed to each area by the U.S. soldiers and each one had three criminals working under their orders. One night, 35 of these criminals raped a 17-year-old kid," affirmed Areth. The former soldier explained that the torture and mistreatment of detainees began after the second interrogation session if some of the replies did not coincide with those given during the first session 10 days previously.

3. Too bad this report is from Cuba. I know it is probably true but
we will NEVER here it quoted in the USA.

5. The original was Liberation in France
a respectable French newspaper (roughly the equivalent of the UK Guardian). Of course they'd be no more reliable to the freepers, but the normal public wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

Off topic - my Google search for this had the following at the end of the results:
"In response to a complaint we received under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 2 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint for these removed results."

Has anyone seen something like this before?

7. Fair play
It's only fair that you wouldn't read this in American papers since they censor Iraqi atrocities in the name of not "offending" anyone.

LEASH GAL'S SEX PIX

"May 13, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - Shocking shots of sexcapades involving Pfc. Lynndie England were among the hundreds of X-rated photos and videos from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal shown to lawmakers in a top-secret Capitol conference room yesterday.
"She was having sex with numerous partners. It appeared to be consensual," said a lawmaker who saw the photos.

And, videos showed the disgraced soldier - made notorious in a photo showing her holding a leash looped around an Iraqi prisoner's neck - engaged in graphic sex acts with other soldiers in front of Iraqi prisoners, Pentagon officials told NBC Nightly News.

"Almost everybody was naked all the time," another lawmaker said."

9. Some PSYOPS are rituals. Who took the pics and "influenced" her?
Edited on Thu May-13-04 01:57 PM by bobthedrummer
What is this "process" we keep hearing about? Torture and abuse being part of "the process" of committing terrible crimes? What's up with that?
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

6. If we can't win their hearts and minds...
we might as well steal their dignity and humanity. It's the Bush way.
