Torture Videos Should Be Made Available on Primetime T.V.
I suggest if Congress feels that legalizing torture is necessary for our safety, then we, as Americans, should see what we are getting ourselves into. A public distribution on the airwaves should be made available so all the U.S. can see what toture is like and what it accomplishes. Democratic Congressional Reps should make an attachment onto any sort of torture bill that Congress tries to pass. Once Americans see what they are going to do to prinsoners, they will be able to visualize our own soldiers being treated as such.

4. Has anyone heard anything about other videos
of torture that is just hideous. It could be the other part of the torture videos that the congress saw in private at the time Abu Grarab. This may not be true, but there could be other tapes out there. Also, I was wondering about the men that they took to Gitmo. Maybe they can talk, now.

3. You're right. These photos and videos would probably make us
all sick to our stomachs. I'm still looking for an answer to my question - are the people in Wash DC who saw these videos, especially the ones of murder and rape (sodomy of a young boy), are they bound by some code that says they can't speak out, or yell out, about what they saw - or are they just being quiet in order to protect their own butts? Either way - that's just wrong. In my book it's abetting and they are no better than Bush.

5. ABC will do a drictional (dramatic fictional) account of them. They'll
show how torture victims were coddled with puppies and babies and games of Parcheesi. Subsequent "noose" shows will have show creators insist EVERYTHING they portrayed was based on truth. Or truthiness. Woof.
