Instances of systamatic prison abuse reported

[ivolsky]

More instances of prison abuse have just been made public. New documents show that the abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody was more "widespread, varied and grave in the past three years" than the Defense Department and president Bush have previously maintained.

In one of the cases, a sergeant conducted "a mock execution of an Iraqi teenager" in front of the boy's father and brother, who were suspected of looting an ammunition factory. Investigators also found that a lieutenant conspired with the sergeant.

"What the documents show so far was that the abuse was widespread and systemic, that it was the result of decisions taken by high-ranking officials, and that the abuse took place within a culture of secrecy and neglect."

What have they turned this country into?

2. yeah this is particularly interesting if you believe in KARMA.....

3. I do believe in KARMA.

It is a psychological self-inducement due to the guilt of ones actions. If we are humans with a conscience, we will have bad KARMA. It is inevitable. Even the Repukes have a conscience - they are simply trying to suppress it for as long as they can stand it.

6. create to dominate will open hell's gate

Abuse gives birth to monsters of hate, anger and vengence. Those whom created this will become more and more vulnerable in becoming prey to their creation. The boomers have peaked and they are about to go over the hill losing their security, medicare, social security and vitality. Born 1940 turning 65 in 2005. decay...
