So you just got released from Abu-Ghraib!


Sure, it was a bit difficult, perhaps even humiliating. All you'll have now are the memories, and perhaps , some scars. You'll remember the broomstick as it was shoved up your ass. You'll reminisce about being left naked for weeks, having soldiers fondle you, the near drowning experiences, having to get your meals from out of the toilet, and so much more.

You might miss your neighbor who disappeared one day, after laying in a pool of blood for a few days. Ah, the memories.

So you're getting out today.

Assuming you're not in a position to go to Disneyworld, what are you gonna do now?

2. probably some will be knocked off by Bushco*
can't have too many witnesses roaming around for Bushco*.

Watch for some strange "accidents" to befall some of the key witnesses/victims.

4. Note: they are being "released" to US military installations...
...and then "escorted" home by local leaders...

heard on Morning Edition...any more details?

It didn't sound like they were just let off the bus...

12. let off in a quarry
Edited on Fri May-21-04 11:42 AM by donsu
several wks. ago I posted an article telling how two busloads of prisoners drove way out of town, with families and press following behind in their vehicles (like some strange parade) to a quarry where the soldiers let them out and then sped away.

when the press asked "why here?" the soldiers said it was a mistake.

5. I wonder if most of america is prepared for
how much worse this is going to get.

This is going to make Vietnam look like a cake walk.

6. With modern techniques for managing news cycles
this should all become irrelavent by the time the next winner of American Idol is announced. OOOOO I can't wait. Who do you think will win?

But yes, the reality on the ground will be much worse than Vietnam.

7. You pre-empted my first (and most logical) choice.
So I guess I'll pick up some kind of weapon and go off a few occupiers.

11. If one is secular...
they meet up with some Baathists. If one is religious, they join Army of Muhammed or the Sadrists. What else would one do?
