Hey Naderites! How does it feel to be responsible for this?
'US soldiers abused young girl at Iraqi prison'
7.17PM, Fri May 7 2004

The US military has said it will investigate claims by a former inmate of Abu Ghraib prison that a girl as young as 12 was stripped and beaten by military personnel.

Suhaib al-Baz, a journalist for the al-Jazeera television network, claims to have been tortured at the prison, based west of Baghdad, while held there for 54 days.

Mr al-Baz was arrested when reporting clashes between insurgents and coalition forces in November.

He said: "They brought a 12-year-old girl into our cellblock late at night. Her brother was a prisoner in the other cells.

"She was naked and screaming and calling out to him as they beat her. Her brother was helpless and could only hear her cries. This affected all of us because she was just a child.

10. corporate democrats caused it
and they are going to make it a close race again, by REFUSING to stand up for progressives...for their BASE! We can win overwhelmingly, but Kerry needs to stop pandering to the so-called "moderates" with promises of tax cuts and other crap. Stand firm...unite the base, and have an all out blitz of activism...revolutionize American politics...Do a reverse "contract with America" and lets show these pukes what we can do.

2. Agreed, although Mr. Gore could have run a little better campaign
IMHO, so there's blame all around.

But still the fact remains . . . no Nader = no Bush. No Bush = no immoral, never-ending war . . .

3. A repuke that I work with said that he "understood" why the thugs tortured
the prisoners....His logic was something like "Hey if they've got guns pointing at you there's bound to be some animosity and hostility..." I informed him that the people being tortured and humiliated were NOT soldiers nor were they Terra-ists but ordinary people swept up in dragnets...He then quipped "Wrong place at the wrong time".....So I e-mailed him the link with the question..was SHE at the wrong place at the wrong time??

His response? Not a fucking word......

4. We are ALL responsible for this.
Those were U.S. soldiers, not anyone's private army.
