That's not what I heard dubya, I heard there is torture and murder and they've done away with the formality of mass graves and they just let the hundreds of tortured to death lie in the streets now. 77 last week alone.

1. He's right actually

we do our raping and torturing right in the people's homes. No need for rape rooms and torture chambers. It cuts way down on maintenance costs.

3. rape rooms & torture --> see american prison system

Why should iraq be special when prison rape is an american specialty stateside.

n December 2000, the Prison Journal published a study based on a survey of inmates in seven men's prison facilities in four states. The results showed that 21 percent of the inmates had experienced at least one episode of pressured or forced sexual contact since being incarcerated, and at least 7 percent had been raped in their facility. A 1996 study of the Nebraska prison system produced similar findings, with 22 percent of male inmates reporting that they had been pressured or forced to have sexual contact against their will while incarcerated. Of these, over 50 percent had submitted to forced anal sex at least once. Extrapolating these findings to the national level gives a total of at least 140,000 inmates who have been raped.

Torture has long been part of american penal culture, we're in 3'rd and 4'th
generations of families of child abuse, generationally entrenching this common value as
the republican legacy from the second half of the 20th century.
