FOX and CBS reporting Bush will request Abu Graib prison be demolished

[kentuck]

That's the purpose of the speech tonight. It is pure PR. Those troops accused of abuse are not like America...and we will request that Abu Graib prison be torn down. It should no longer be a symbol of abuse - as it was during the reign of the evil dictator,Saddam Hussein. That's the story of toniht's speech - in my opinion.

1. So Now

We put the prisoners in tents, in the summer time, yes this is better.

[Alerter_]

2. destroy the evidence as quickly as possible

just like Oklahoma City, just like the WTC.

[Bluebear]

3. That evil, nasty building made them do it.

n/t

[trof]

4. Heard that before in recent days.

Mixed emotions.
It WOULD HAVE BEEN (before the caca hit the fan) a great PR move.
But if we raze it, we'll just have to find (build?) someplace else.
Not cost effective.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. But that is so transparent

Though I do nto doubt that, just turned on CNN which is running the fuel stories.

Need to check on dinner... no, not planning to eat dinner while the boy speaks... quite a way to ruin digestion.

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. He should say a symbol of abuse

of the US's first year of Occuptation.

[Rosco T.]

7. isn't destroying a crime scene a 'high crime'??? n/m

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Add them to the list

though he may announce our pull out, cut and run. That ocured as they keep saying, exit strategy

[RC]

8. Then Halliburton can build a bigger and better prison

without all those nasty cameras.

Impeach the basterds.

[9215]

13. You beat me to it. But that's spelled

"basturds" anyway.

[Gman]

24. Yup, my first thought too.

It doesn't matter where the torture is done. They'll still it. Its the right wing/neocon way.

[Sandpiper]

9. My reaction is: BFD

Publicly destroying the murder weapon doesn't absolve one of the murder.

Guess they'll just have to abuse prisoners somewhere else now. I wonder if there are any spaces left at Guantanamo.

[Guava Jelly]

Didnt a few repukes yack about tearing it down

Wasnt it Sen.Byrd who suggested that first?

[Lin]

26. was a dem cuz I recall Laura Ingram's shrill laughing over it <eom>

[Mojambo]

10. I bet they're expecting a bump from that alone

People are going to see right through this one.
Besides, he is supposed to be laying down a clear vision for Iraq tonight. Somehow Bush + Clear Vision just doesn't equate.

[MikeG]

11. Isn't destroying Iraqi property for the Iraqis to decide?

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

17. Thank you ms. hughes

has her signature written all over it.

yeah, *ush will claim credit, even though we know Byrd was the first who air it out.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

14. Old news?

Funny, but while surfing and landing on CSpan LAST WEEK someone was already putting this into motion (to destroy the prison).

Pennsylvania reps (sens?) if I recall correctly.

GWB stealing the thunder?

[9215]

15. How pathetic. How about investigating your own rotten Administration

Bush and quit with all the showboat shit!

[asterisk]

16. dose any body know who is gunna show

Bushie Boy speech?
abc?cbs?will i have to resort fox??

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. You will have to resort to fox if your local affiliate is

carryng it, the big four are NOT carrying it

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. ok anybody listening to AAR

He will say nothing NEW hence why the big four said NO THANK YOU

[spanone]

20. Too late george, in the middle east the shit has already met the fan.

[bluestateguy]

21. Somebody is going to get a nice prison construction contract

Now that's one area of American industry that is booming and where we have some real expertise: prison construction.

[David Dunham]

22. This move will not help Bush. The Iraqis still dislike the US.

[Hubert Flottz]

23. So now the taxpayers will pay for a new prison!

And Brown&Root will build it no doubt! Will it have ovens and everything?

[spanone]

25. This is Pure Damage Control!!!! Nothing more nothing less.

They should give dems equal time. This is politics.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

27. Toppling another 'statue' to replace reality with mere symbols. n/t
