Well folks -- Project "Neutralize" has been launched

[CatWoman]

For some bizarre -- not sure if that's the right word -- reason, Bush is trying to downplay the torture pictures with images of Saddam torturing prisoners at the newly-named "Camp Redemption".

That has to be the most transparent, ill-minded, stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

I noticed the news today trying to push this bullshit.

And Tweety had a guest on who had been imprisoned by Saddam -- an English journalist.

Can sometime explain to me what one thing has to do with the other???

Are they saying that we are compassionate torturers??

Two wrongs don't make a right -- reacting to Saddam's actions with actions equally, or more so, egregious makes no sense to me.

1. It's called moral relativism

shhhh...don't tell conservatives...they hate that!

16. This sould just remind the Iraqis how much we are like Saddam

This will backfire also. We didn't seem to care when Saddam was doing this, in fact, the whole truth should be aired about how we supported Saddam in many of his atrocities. Just superimpose a picture of Rummy shaking hands with Saddam over any one of the pictures and video of Saddam's atrocities. Then hold up a sign that reads, if Saddam is responsible as the head of state during these atrocities, so is Bush responsible for the prisoner abuses taking place under his control of Iraq.
See if this shit lasts longer than one day after that.

8. First 3 replies were good........

wish they were mine!

[Disturbed]

13. Desperate!!!!

The more info. that comes out, the more that even the most ignorant in Amerika are starting to understand that it wasn't a "few bad apples" that were or still are engaged in torture at the behest of BushCo. It will soon be obvious to most people that BushCo is not only responsible but complicit in the torture, not only in Iraq, GETMO and Afghanistan but secret torture places in other countries. BushCo is inflaming not only Iraqis but Muslims world wide. How many Muslims are there? Maybe a billion?

5. A general was just on CNN

and he was making all kinds of excuses-"33 isn't too many", it is low-level, etc. etc.

[redqueen]

12. A general was saying this?

I wish you knew the name... from what I understand, the military are not to happy about what's happening here. I read that the chain of command which protects against these abuses was gamed by the chickenhawk civilians in the pentagon.

15. Retired general

one of those consultants CNN has. He was live from AZ

7. Am I the only one who thinks

that Camp Redemption sounds like a fundamentalist summer camp?

11. Sing along with the Flanders kids!

"I got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart (where??) down in my heart to stay, and if the devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack (ow!!) sit on a tack...."

[libhill]

19. That`s probably

the whole idea - convince the right wing morons who worship Bush to think that everything is gonna be o.k. , God Bless America, blah blah blah.

10. I'm seeing this more and more

This is the second time I've commented on it today. I'm watching several people on other message boards (all upstanding devoutly Christian women, if that matters) go through some amazing contortions to try to justify the torture by some of our troops.

It is ugly.

14. I'll be praying that their eyes open soon

Don't want their souls damned as well!

17. Moral Relativism... bush style

somehow I think bill bennet will remain silent.
