"It was hard to tell what orifice you were looking at in the pictures"
Congressmen Describe Pornographic and Violent Images


http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGA4GLS16UD.html

Members of Congress saw classified images of Iraqi prisoner abuse Wednesday. Some of their descriptions of the photos and videos they saw:

- A prisoner apparently sodomizing himself with a foreign object. "There were certain wounds," said Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz. "I didn't see anyone inflicting wounds but it was certainly implied that they were inflicted."

- More than seven soldiers standing in a hallway with a clump of people tied together on the floor. "You can't tell me all of this is going on with seven or eight Army privates," said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.

- Pornographic images involving prisoners. "It was hard to tell what orifice you were looking at in the pictures I saw," said Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla.

1. Unlike Dave...
Many people were not looking for specific orifices.

4. Lord, what have we become?
WTF are our elected Representatives doing to get to the fucking bottom of this? They are fixated on "orfices" and not who the fuck commanded these privates to perpetuate this torture?

Where are the hearings on Nick Berg's death?????

7. If the descriptions are this bad, the images must be horrendous
"People were, I believe, forced to smash heads against doors until their heads broke open. There were people who were forced to have sex with each other," said Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y.

"- People in body bags and a person with a disfigured face, although apparently no images of violence being done to those people. "It's hard to believe that these injuries or pictures that you see would have occurred without violence," said Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb."

And Rummy goes there, to tell everyone to keep up the good work.
