Imagine: Torture and the Geneva Conventions

[kliljedahl]

Imagine if it had been a naked marine on a leash held by an Iraqi woman.

Imagine if it had been American prisoners forced to perform simulated or real homosexual acts and photographed while doing so.

Imagine if it had been US soldiers huddled against the wall, naked, with snarling dogs snapping at their genitals.

Imagine if one of your family, or a friend, or a neighbor was beaten to death by a gang who wanted information about something they didn’t know anything about.

On Sunday, March 23, 2003, captured US pilots were shown on Iraqi TV. They didn’t have hoods over the heads. They were completely dressed. None of them wore leashes. Neither then, nor afterward, were they threatened with sodomy.

American reaction was instantaneous.

the heads of countless millions of other Americans who seemingly don't give a damn what is/has been done to others.
