Camp Redemption???

Did anybody else hear Randi Rhodes say that Abu Graib's name has officially be changed to Camp Redemption? Have you seen this news anywhere else? Randi didn't cite a source.

a while back. Don't have a link, sorry, but I'm pretty sure it's true.

This was discussed last week on Franken's show - possibly a Boykin contribution - extremely offensive to muslims (Christ - the redeemer). Remember "Operation Infinite Justice?"

It is now called Camp Redemption.

Yes, the world should know that our torture and murder is not like Saddams. Ours is Christian and therefore OK. I hope that they erect giant crosses all around it.

This is really screwed up. Whoever thought of that is an IDIOT.

They should just plant a huge old white cross there and make the picture complete!

Thanks for pulling those together.

Camp Redemption. Sheesh. You have to wonder where the boys are getting these names!

Must be from the DOD name dept. Maybe the Jesus General? The nuts on the Right will love it and the people in the Middle East will be sure we are trying to win their minds and hearts. Lets get Rice over their to tell them. Madness in the only thing I hear from this group running our govt.
